Re: [gatein-dev] Purpose and Fate of *.launch Files under gatein-portal/testsuite/selenium-snifftests/src/eclipse
Bolek,
the *.launch files have nothing to do with maven or project-level
settings. They are just launch configurations which allow Eclipse users
to run something. I guess these particular can be used to run a main
method of org.openqa.selenium.server.SeleniumServer and
org.exoplatform.portal.selenium.SeleniumTestCaseGenerator.
Just .gitignore-ing them would be OK for me, but if there is noone who
actually uses them, they could be removed altogether.
So, please raise your hand, everyone who uses those launch configurations!
Best,
Peter

However we agreed quite a long time ago that we don't want to keep IDE related files
in source control. There is always additional maintenance related to this.
I personally don't see the benefit as IDEA has first class maven support and I just
import project by pointing to pom. Does it make that much sense for Eclipse project files
actually?
