> 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
