[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-15324) Add an option to regenerate project files

Add an option to regenerate project files ----------------------------------------- Key: JBIDE-15324 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-15324 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Feature Request Components: maven Reporter: George Gastaldi JBIDE-15322 was caused due to a malformed .project file. It would be nice to have an option when updating (or importing) the Maven project to allow regeneration of these files (.project, .classpath, .settings/). Here is a chat transcript from [~akazakov] and [~gastaldi] in the #jbosstools channel: {quote} <akazakov> can you remove this project, pull it again and re-import? <gastaldi> I deleted my .project, .classpath, .settings and .external-builders and it works now <gastaldi> is it possible to add an option to regenerate these files on import ? <gastaldi> this may be garbage from older m2 versions <akazakov> when you import the project as a maven project then these files should be generated <gastaldi> in my case these files already existed <gastaldi> but they were screwed <akazakov> yes the maven tooling just updates them if they exist. <akazakov> it can't remove the old one since it can have some custom settings you don't want to loose <gastaldi> I know, that's why I asked for an option to regenerate it :) <gastaldi> I think that the majority of use-cases will not have any custom settings <akazakov> ah. got it. I'm not sure.. Maybe Fred knows anything about it. <gastaldi> is he on PTO ? <akazakov> yes <gastaldi> ok, perhaps it may be worth talking with him about this, since it may save some headaches in the future :) <akazakov> yes. you are right <gastaldi> thanks for your time akazakov <akazakov> no problem ) <akazakov> can you create an issue about the option to regenerate .project .classpath etc when importing a maven project? Just not to forget it when Fred is back <gastaldi> ok {quote}
