[jbosstools-dev] Re: physical bound file names in .settings directories ?

[Max Rydahl Andersen]

btw. we got an user asking on the forum what he should do with this file
at http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4138718#4138718

Slava, could you follow up with what our users should do ?

If the file exist I assume it is used ?

We would need to get this into the release notes and documentation too.
