Eclipse Project Files

To be able to import a Spoofax 3 project into Eclipse, it should have at least the .project and .classpath project files. Those files live in the root of the project (i.e., where the spoofaxc.cfg file lives), with the following minimum content:

Eclipse will adjust these files as needed.

Ensure these files are not in .gitignore

Often these Eclipse files are ignored for version control by specifying them in .gitignore. To allow these projects to be imported in the future, do not ignore them when committing the files.

Adjust the <name>myproject</name> to be the name of the project.
