Eclipse version control - problems with project no longer showing in workspace <p>I'm trying to figure out which files to check in to version control when using Eclipse for Android development. I have a workspace with a single project. I found <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/337304/which-eclipse-files-belong-under-version-control">this</a> which suggested that the .metadata folder did not need to be controlled (minus the comment there about launch params, however I don't mind re-picking those again on a different machine).</p> <p>If I remove the .metadata folder then open Eclipse the project is no longer shown. I searched for posts on this symptom and they suggest re-importing the project. This solution doesn't make sense here, I'm trying to check in whatever is needed so another developer can open the workspace and see the project and work on it. Having them move the project then re-import it would be a bit messy.</p> <p>So which files should I be version controlling so that someone else can get the latest and be able to open the project without controlling a bunch of user specific preferences?</p>
