title: What's in an Eclipse .classpath/.project file?
body: <p>We recently had an issue with an Eclipse project for one of our team members. Tomcat was not deploying JARs of the application. </p>
  
  <p>We eventually noticed the <code>.classpath</code> Eclipse file was not the same as for the team members where the project was OK. We replaced the <code>.classpath</code> file with one from a project that was OK and the Tomcat deploy was complete.</p>
  
  <p>Just out of curiosity and to know at what to look in the future if something is wrong, <strong>what is  inside the <code>.classpath</code> and <code>.project</code> files. What can I add in there, what does it all mean?</strong></p>
