I want to get comment on which of the following two options make better sense assuming someone has finished the development on his local eclipse
IDE.
1) check in source code only into clear case. Don't check in any .project type file. When another developer joins team, he checks out the source codes, in his eclipse IDE, he creates a project by himself and import those source codes.
2) check in source codes and .project type files. When another developer comes, he checks out everything, then in his eclipse IDE, he can simply "import an existing project", i.e. he does not need to create a new project from scratch and add pieces.
Which way makes better sense ?
Thanks.
