[Bluej-discuss] BlueJ and darcs: "Boring Files" and extra folders

[Davin McCall]

Hi Charles,

*.ctxt files are generated from the corresponding *.java source so I'd 
recommend that they don't get stored in the repository.

bluej.pkg is the bluej project/package file which is needed for BlueJ to 
recognize a BlueJ project; it also stores the location of classes in the 
class diagram. However, it changes often and for this reason it might be 
convenient not to try and store it in the repository; in this case "Open 
Non-BlueJ project" can be used to open the project after the initial 
checkout. (bluej.pkh is a backup of the bluej.pkg file and is definitely 
'boring').

The _darcs folder won't be a problem - BlueJ will ignore it.

Davin.

> Hello! I'm looking into shareing BlueJ projects using darcs. What files in the project folder are 'boring' and don't need to be copied across? '*.\.class' files and 'doc/.*', at least, I would assume, but what about the '*.\.ctxt' and 'bluej.pk?'? Also, will bluej complain about haveing the extra folder '_darcs' in a project folder?
