[news.eclipse.tools] Re: Trouble changing build path

[philippe_mulet@xxxxxxx (Philippe Mulet)]

The .classpath file is indeed recording the build path setting so that it
can be shared by the VCM. Any manual/VCM change on the .classpath file is
automatically impacting the corresponding project properties, as long as
the .classpath file has a valid format (which is why you should refrain
from manually modifying it).

Is it possible that when synchronizing with the repository, you grabbed
the old version of the .classpath, which would immediately cause the
project build path to revert to its previous state ?
