    When using Zend_Tool to manage your Zend Framework project, .zfproject.xml will contain your application structure state. This is required by Zend_Tool (and only by it) to be able to work, e.g. add code to certain parts., generate things, etc.

    Quoting ZF Manual on Zend_Tool_Project:

    So, for example, if in one command you created a controller, and in the next command you wish to create an action within that controller, Zend_Tool_Project is gonna have to know about the controller file you created so that you can (in the next action), be able to append that action to it.

    I am not sure if Zend_Tool can be configured to use a different path to .zfproject.xml. My suggestion would be to leave it untouched. It’s a hidden file anyway.
