Problem
How to stop svn from synchronizing eclipse meta data in a project (eg .project files)
Solution
Add a number of project specific or global svn ignore directives. In the latter case, eclipse meta data will be ignored in all of your projects.
You can add the following pattern for exclusion
.eclipse
.settings
.project
.classpath
Below the eclipse settings to add global ignore pattern:
Why pattern .project doesn`t work ?
I go to “add patern” .project , .classpath , so when I push “Syncronize with repository” I see .project files.
Thanks for any suggestions!
My Eclipse Platform :
Version: 3.6.0
Build id: I20100608-0911
Hi Julia,
have you checked out the .project file before. If so, it must first be manually deleted before it can be ‘ignored’ (gave me lots of headaches …).

Thanks for the post. Also add .metadata to the list of the ignored files/folders.
