IntelliJ's IDEA and Eclipse on the same project

Question

Hi I'm currently working on an android project with a group of developers using both Eclipse and IntelliJ. We're using SVN as our repo. It seems like every time someone using eclipse checks in they break the IDEA people and vice-verse. I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on what files we should ignore from SCM and any other advice on making this process smoother?

Answer 1

I would suggest keeping IDE specific project files out of versioning. I have few Android projects where I use Intellij IDEA and Eclipse interchangingly and they seem to be playing well with each other.

Here is what I have in the git repository:

.gitignore
AndroidManifest.xml
ant.properties
build.xml
proguard.cfg
project.properties
res/ folder
src/ folder
