RE: [JGIT PATCH 7/9] removing eclipse project files

Hi Matthias!

the answer is a clear yes and no  - a 'jein' for german speaking people like you ;)

yes: we have the same settings for the compiler as used before: jdk 1.5 for source and target. This is exactly what has been taken in the ant build which was used prior to maven. 

Please note that the settings in org.eclipse.jdt.core.prefs never had (and must not have) any impact on the created jar!

and no: currently the very file you mentioned contains a lot more stuff. In fact most of this are only editor settings, preferred formattings etc which has nothing to do with the build per se. Eclipse has the ability to import/export all those settings in a XML file which is version independent. We should go this way and also supply similar setting-files for Idea and NetBeans. But forcing those settings via an internal Eclipse plugin config file is imho bad practice.

LieGrue,
strub
