When you add an Eclipse project to Dimensions CM control, Dimensions stores additional data about the project, such as the IDE type (Eclipse), the actual project name in Eclipse, and other project specific information. This information is stored as attributes for the Dimensions CM project that is associated with the Eclipse project.
This information is stored either as a project marker file with the extension “ecl” (when working with Eclipse containers), or it is stored as attributes for the Dimensions CM project or stream. Additional information is associated with Eclipse Project Containers that allows them to be explicitly identified in the Dimensions CM Explorer.
