Re: Project folder name in Eclipse .classpath file

Thanks for the remarks, Daniel!
Yes, I think I followed the steps described in README.txt, using Eclipse
Luna, IvyDE (with default config) and running `ant update-deps'.
I can keep the project name as "FreeMarker-master", which should be fine
with me.

Regarding Ant/Ivy vs Maven, I cannot compare and pick one from those
myself because my experiences with Ivy is very minimal, but if it can be
more beneficial to the community with Maven in the future, then I'm
interested in helping the transition. Also, I now understand from
build.xml that the transition wouldn't be so easy because we have to
deal with various things such as compiling against 1.4 and 1.5, site doc
generation, etc.
Anyway, that's great to know. :-)

Have a great weekend!

Cheers,

Woonsan
