Re: Project folder name in Eclipse .classpath file

Mine also have "workspace_loc%3AFreeMarker-master%2Fivysettings.xml"
here, and the folder name is "freemarker" on my computer, and it
works. "FreeMarker-master" is just the Eclipse project name after all
(which of course shouldn't be changed). So I don't know why it didn't
work there. Did you follow the instructions in the README.txt too?

As of committing these... well, I hoped it mostly just works if
someone checks the project out, and he also has the Ivy plugin
installed. Mostly... And if not, then perhaps it's still easier than
setting up everything from scratch. Also Eclipse files store stuff
like Java compiler preferences, PMD setting (not in FM yet though...),
etc., which are really the part project "policy". So that's why I
prefer to keep them in the SCM. But if it's too unportable then maybe
I should find out something else.

(I also want to get rid of Ant/Ivy one day... if it can just use
Maven, that will help a lot for contributors.)
