[news.eclipse.tools.pdt] How does PDT corrupt .project files? (was Re: N

[Nick Boldt <codeslave@xxxxxxxxxx>]

How does a .project file get damaged, anyway? I've been using Eclipse 
for 4 years and I've never seen that happen. (But I stopped using PDT a 
while ago and switched back to PHPeclipse, so maybe that's why.)

What is PDT doing with .project files that they can get corrupt? Isn't 
that more-or-less static information that's only ever written to once in 
a blue moon if you add a new nature or builder, create the project in 
the first place, or import it from some source where it doesn't already 
exist?

BTW, there's also this hack if you need to shoehorn an existing project 
to work w/ PDT:
