Hi there
First post. Very impressed with MyEclipse.
My project is currently migrating from JBuilder to Eclipse / MyEclipse. One cosmetic thing. We have a sub-folder called etc, where we use to store the JBuilder project jpx files, is there a way to do the same for MyEclipse rather than dumping the .mymetadata, .myeclipe, .project and .classpath in the root ?
Thanks
S98

Thank you.

Sorry, but not at this time. Eclipse sets where the .project and .classpath files are stored and we simply followed their pattern by also storing our metadata in the same place, the root of the project. This is the only location that Eclipse and MyEclipse will look for them. Additionally, it’s quite easy to filter them from view by using the filters menu of the Package Explorer view if you don’t like to see them all the time. This is what I personally do.
I believe dot files are filtered by default, so they shouldn’t be showing up in your package explorer view… but they will show up in your navigator view if you are using that, in which case using filtering there will help.
S98 its a bit of a unix holdover that Eclipse uses to ‘hide’ files by making them dot files… you’ll notice as you try out other plugins that a lot of them do the same thing (put a dot file in your project root to store their project metadata in).
