Remove Eclipse .project and .classpath files from svn
-----------------------------------------------------

                 Key: GRFT-91
                 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GRFT-91
             Project: Graffito
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Project Build
         Environment: Eclipse
            Reporter: Jukka Zitting
            Priority: Minor


Some of the Graffito subprojects in svn contain Eclipse .project and .classpath 
files presumably to simplify opening of the projects in Eclipse. While this is 
a nice feature, it is also quite troublesome because it a) duplicates 
information from project.xml, and b) interferes with svn operations when the 
user wants to modify the project settings in Eclipse.

For example after checking out the entire Graffito trunk I imported all the 
subprojects to Eclipse and replaced library dependencies to other Graffito 
subproject jars with project dependencies to the actual subprojects. This makes 
it very easy to navigate Graffito sources, but of course marks all .classpath 
files managed in svn as modified.

It would be good to remove the .project and .classpath files from svn, 
especially since they can be easily generated using "maven eclipse" from the 
Maven Eclipse plugin.
