Like Andras I'm currently only working on Castor within the scope of a
university course, yet, I'd like to share my 2 cents here as well:
In our case, the present state of included Eclipse project files in
Castor's Subversion repo turned out to be actually rather cumbersome
than really useful when first checking out the project.
That is, members of our group using Eclipse were struggling a bit in
the beginning getting a project setup working mainly due to
before-mentioned included .classpath etc. files.
Just when they removed and subsequently generated them via `mvn
eclipse:eclipse` these issues were resolved.
Moreover, members of our group using other IDEs (namely, IntelliJ IDEA
and NetBeans; i.e., equipped with built-in Maven support), naturally,
weren't confronted with such issues at all.
Consequently and generally, I'm all +1 for not bundling any
IDE-specific project files within its source code repo (especially,
when the overhead of having to manage them manually can be avoided).
