Re: [higgins-dev] build: what are these files?
|
Jim,
If you open plugin's manifest (either "META-INF\MANIFEST.MF" or
"plugin.xml") file in the Eclipse IDE to edit plugin's properties
you'll see build.properties as one of the tabs there.
So, "build.properties" is a Eclipse plugin specific file which (along
with "META-INF\MANIFEST.MF" and\or "plugin.xml" files) contains all the
information required to build Eclipse plugin.
As for buildaux.xml.old_ files they actually could be removed now -
they are just renamed buildaux.xml files which we used before started
to generate them.
