Hi,

After installing myeclipse and adding Spring capabilities etc. to my project, I now have all these dot config files. Is there any way to safely move them all into one hidden directory rather than at the root of my project? Thanks!

What are the three dot config files that are being created? Are they copies of the same file ?

Can you go to MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details and paste the information here for me.

They are .mymetadata, and .springBeans plus .myeclipse and .settings directories. I presume if I add JSF or Struts capabilities, for example, I will get another hidden file such as .mystruts or some such that MyEclipse uses to manage the config for that capability. I would simply like them all in one dir if possible as they show up in my project tab. Other developers here use other IDEs so it can get rather cluttered if we all dump our config files at project root. Thanks!

These files have to be placed at the project root because that is where the IDE looks for them. You cannot change the location of these configuration files.

Bummer. Thanks for the quick reply, however.

Your welcome.
