This has the nice side effect that it is very easy to import those projects into Eclipse, using the m2eclipse plugin. This plugin takes care of generating Eclipse metadata files (.classpath, .project, and .settings/*) to match the POM's metadata, and keeps it up to date as project dependencies change. In particular, it automatically switches between Project and Library (JAR) build path entries when dependent projects are opened and closed, which is a very nice feature.<br><br>Unfortunately, bio-formats.git already has Eclipse metadata committed to the repository. When using m2eclipse with Bio-Formats, these metadata files are overwritten, and Git sees a slew of changes in the working copy. While it is possible locally to instruct Git to ignore such changes (see <a href="http://www.pagebakers.nl/2009/01/29/git-ignoring-changes-in-tracked-files/">http://www.pagebakers.nl/2009/01/29/git-ignoring-changes-in-tracked-files/</a>), my preference would be to remove the Eclipse metadata files from Git altogether, and suggest that people use the m2eclipse plugin to develop Bio-Formats from within Eclipse. This solution has the added benefit that we no longer need to keep our dependencies in sync between the Ant build.properties files, the Maven pom.xml files, and the Eclipse .classpath files, but rather only between Ant and Maven.<br><br>What do you think?<br><br>Thanks,<br>Curtis<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
