title: android: Project.Properties - do not edit, your changes will be erased?
body: <p>I seem to have an issue.</p>
  
  <p>I wanted to add some additional config info into project.properties in an android project but i notice when i open it there are comments telling me not to edit it</p>
  
  <p>Is it safe to edit</p>
  
  <p>Would it get regenerated at some point so i would lose my changes?</p>
  
  <p>Is there an alternative?</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT</strong></p>
  
  <p>Somebody suggested looking here <a href="https://developer.android.com/tools/projects/index.html" rel="nofollow">https://developer.android.com/tools/projects/index.html</a></p>
  
  <p>which states</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>project.properties This file contains project settings, such as the
    build target. This file is integral to the project, so maintain it in
    a source revision control system. To edit project properties in
    Eclipse, right-click the project folder and select Properties.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>but i found no reference at all about editing properties in eclipse</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas?</p>
  
  <p>it seems google thinks you should be able to do it</p>
