This directory contains project files for the eclipse IDE (http://www.eclipse.org). To setup Cayenne as an eclipse project, check out the code, and copy the two files in this directory (.classpath and .project) into the root "cayenne" directory, then import the project into eclipse. If you have used eclipse to check out the tree (much easier!) you can use the Resource Navigator to copy the files. Either use copy/paste via the context menu or drag-and-CTRL-drop them to the root of the directory. If you have copied the files from outside eclipse (Windows explorer, command line..) you will need to restart in order to have the project recognized as 'Java project'.
