This would nullify the benefit of having a common project file wouldn't it. First you want to have it in your CM because you develop your software with it. It is part of it. It might change with the life of your project. Do you put your ant build file under CM? Project files IMHO are the same. Secondly if somebody in the team changes something in the project file I want everybody to get updated automatically. Your solution would still require notifying manually everybody then having everybody create their own project file again. Just do the math with teams of 40 developers or more (we have several). Even a few minutes can add up!
To make project files shareable easily there is another thing that needs to be taken care of: do not have absolute path anywhere in the project file. Instead use root variables. Every path can start from a root variable (look at eclipse for example). That way everything specific to one developer install can be abstracted out of the project file into a property file. With both points taken care of, the project file can be shared properly. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Thomas Singer Sent: Thursday, March 21, 2002 8:18 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Eap-features] feature request: remove dynamic data from .ipr files Another solution: do not put it under source control.
