GWT .hgignore / .gitignore entries

Question

What are the typical entries in your source control ignore files for a GWT App (developed in eclipse)?

Answer 1

I would recommend:

• you leave the eclipse files (.project, .classpath, ...) in your VCS,
• you ignore what is generated by GWT compilation, like in this project (.gitignore)

:

/build
/classes
*.jar
*.class
*~
*/web-app/gwt
*/web-app/WEB-INF/classes
target

The name of certain generated directories can vary slightly, so you should adapt them for your project.
