Hi Chenchao, there should be no .project file in the repository (please have a look at the ".gitignore" file in the root of the project). The .project is generated by eclipse when you import your project, not stored in repo. Have you tried to import the projects as "existing maven projects"? An another way to generate the eclipse specific files should be to run the "mvn eclipse:clean eclipse:eclipse" from the root of the project. hope it helps, Tomas ----- Original Message ----- From: "陈超" <cc272309126(a)gmail.com&gt; To: engine-devel(a)ovirt.org Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2013 6:47:27 AM Subject: [Engine-devel] when import ovirt-engine to eclipse, it cann't find the .project file. Hi all, I am trying to set up an eclipse development environment for ovirt-engine and am running into a stubborn problem with missing classes. I have followed the directions for importing the Maven projects as written here: http://ovirt.org/wiki/Building_Ovirt_Engine/IDE,but there is no '.project' file,when I git clone from the gerrit.I should have a complete ovirt-engine source repository (I cloned the ovirt-engine git repo). Has anyone seen this problem before? Can you offer any suggestions to help me resolve it? Thanks! chenchao. thanks _______________________________________________ Engine-devel mailing list Engine-devel(a)ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/engine-devel
