The only references that Google finds for that term are Eclipse's own builder. Is that what you are using? So you're using Eclipse, but just want to have your development environment set up differently? > I ask in another way, what for do you save Eclipse files? The Eclipse files are saved so that a) it's less work for developers to get their development environment set up and b) everyone uses a common environment, at least for things that are important. The Eclipse specific files include: .project .classpath plugin.xml META-INF/MANIFEST.MF .settings/* .externalToolsBuilders/* The information they contain is things like the dependency graph among the various projects, formatter settings which match those that the Checkstyle checks, builders for things that depend on our Ant files (generate version strings, generate parsers from ANTLR files, etc) If you are using Eclipse and you don't like the way things are set up for the Java plugin, why not suggest an improvement? Then it can be merged in to what's there and everyone can benefit. If you're not using Eclipse, but some other build tool, can you provide a link so I can find out more about it and perhaps offer a different suggestion?
