Change location of .project and .cproject files in Eclipse CDT
eclipse, eclipse-cdt
Solution
I don't know about the .cproject file, but the .project file is expected to be at the root of the project, and I don't think you can do anything about this, except possibly to link it somewhere else. The .project file is used by the Eclipse core resources mechanism.
Problem
For an existing Eclipse CDT project in a given location, we can also find the files .project and .cproject in that given location. Is there a way to store these files in a complete separated location ?
