Rob Stryker commented on JBIDE-22004:
-------------------------------------

Hi Hardy:

The primary purpose of this file is to designate what is or is not a cdk.  It has other secondary purposes which help us in creating our openshift and docker connections, but this is primary. 

Without this marker file, all we'd have is Vagrantfile. When a user wants to 'scan' a folder recursively to locate any cdk instances, we'd probably end up claiming every folder with a VagrantFile in it is a cdk, because there's no real way to parse the VagrantFile to determine if it's actually referencing the CDK or not. 

Instead, we ask the installer or other distributions to include a .cdk file so that we can separate it from other vagrant instances. 

Does this need to be in a raw cdk distribution?  Only if we want the tools to autodetect it when a user scans a folder.

> Due to absency of ".cdk" file in official distribution of CDK (version 2.0.0.Beta5), runtime detection is unable to detect it.
> Installator probably adds that file during install, but shouldn't we support detection of "by-hand" downloaded CDK?
