None of this is required to build or run Apex, it is convenience for the developer. It's generally not a good idea to have jar files in scm, but is it policy that they cannot be in an ASF git repository? > > > If not in Apache version control, where are we to maintain them? > > Would’t it be better to store the xml config file in version control?

Unfortunately intellij and netbeans decided to provide their settings as archives and make life difficult for us! Thanks, Thomas
