The Eclipse IDE files should work for all developers working on the projects. This means that any modifications to the Eclipse configuration files (especially the .classpath file) should be made only when necessary and should keep all other developers in mind. With this information, the following items should not be used in a .classpath file that is going to be checked in to Subversion:
...
- Modify the ivy.xml file (by adding a new dependency, updating an existing dependency, or removing a dependency)
- Test the ivy.xml file (using the ant resolve task and checking the resulting libraries)
- Update the .classpath file (by adding entries for any new jar files from the project's lib directory, changing the jar file's name for a modified jar file version, or removing any entry which is no longer valid)by running ant create-dot-classpath which will update your Eclipse .classpath file with the latest jars.
