Re: adding eclipse/GWT/app engine project to version control (git)

Take a look at a maven setup.

Don't need to keep in the repository any files related with IDE configuration or project dependencies.
After cloning a repo running maven eclipse:eclipse generates all the configuration files needed by eclipse for a successful import.

Example:

After looking around on here and the web I found conflicting
information about what should be version controlled in a eclipse/app
engine/gwt project.  So I played around a bit and wanted to share what
I found to work for us. We are using git, but this information is very
quickly transferred to any version control.  I stated by using
eclipses create web application wizard.  I want to share this project
and it's settings among a few developers so I source control
the .settings folder which has eclipse project settings.

My .gitignor file is (files and directories that are not version
controlled):
/gwt-unitCache
/test-classes
/war/projectname
/war/WEB-INF/deploy
/war/WEB-INF/classes

I needed the /test/projectname directory for eclipse not to give me an
error (I don't know why though) so to source control that I just put
an empty .gitignor file there.  Git won't source control an empty
directory.

That's it.  This has been working for us for a couple weeks now.  We
don't seem to be including any files that a GWT compile and app engine
deploy create.  We are also just able to clone the repo and import the
project right in to eclipse and we can compile.

I am open to other suggestions, or anything we may be missing.
