79 :     <p>Eclipse Team has a preference for denoting whether a new file added to version control should be
80 : kevinm 1.1 text or binary, and another preference to denote whether it should be ignored for version control.
81 :     These preferences are file name extension based.</p>
82 :    
83 :     <p>Eclipse ships with a default set. The set can be added to via extension points in org.eclipse.team.core.
84 :     (extension point ID's are <i>fileTypes</i> and <i>ignore</i> respectively).
85 :     This default set is not intended to be comprehensive: each plugin which introduces a new file type
86 :     should add to the list as appropriate.</p>
87 :    
88 :     <p>You may find that your team works with files which are neither in the default set nor are added
89 :     by another plugin. While you can add to the preference via the preference page, each team
90 :     member will have to do the same.</p>
91 :    
92 :     <p>Another way to build up your own list is to create a very small plugin that extends
93 :     these two extension points with the file patterns you care about.
94 :     This plugin can then be shared with your team; each team member simply needs to drop it into their /plugins
95 :     directory to get them. This also ensures you share the same set across different workspaces
96 :     which all use the same plugins directory.</p>
