Description Helmut Welsch CLA 2021-10-27 09:08:12 EDT 
When editing multiple sourcefiles in eclipse IDE, once a week I find newly created (and empty files - filesize of 0 bytes) in the source folders of my project.

I think I can recognise all this artefacts, because they are listed in output of git status on my system.

Hints:

The filename of the created file is always exactly one of the strings, that I used to search for in the hours before (no filename suffix).

When I find one of these files, often exist some of them.

When I find more files, all these files have exactly the same timestamp value in my directory listing, always a timestamp value of the actual day.
