I'm re-posting this message for two reasons:

1. We have new committers on the project who may have missed it.
2. The previous preferences file didn't import correctly (my previous "testing" of this produced false results)
   

This is all explained in a DNA wiki page (http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/DNA/Development), including why we supply these files, but in summary:

There are 2 files in trunk that all developers need to import into their Eclipse IDE to help ensure the quality of our code and to avoid a slew of non-structural or style-related changes appearing in the SVN history:

• eclipse-code-formatter-profile.xml - Contains the code formatter profile XML that can be imported via the Formatter preference page in Eclipse
• eclipse-preferences.epf - Contains eclipse preferences related to compilation messages, code generation, code styles, and code templates.  It can be imported via the Eclipse Preferences importer. It does NOT contain formatter preferences since their encoding within this file would make them very difficult to maintain.
