Description Michael Förderer CLA 2014-08-07 03:26:11 EDT 
1. Create a hello world project
2. Create the index, close the project and close the workspace.
3. Open the workspace again and remove the closed project.
4. .metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.cdt.core/<project name>.<timestamp>.pdom still exists.
5. Add project again, new file with different timestamp is generated.

When a opened project is deleted, also the PDOM file is deleted from the workspace.

A PDOM file can grow to hundreds of MBs for huge project.  Currently I use a script to delete those unused PDOMs which don't have corresponding projects anymore.  It is not hard to do, but I think it should be auto done.
