Which files should enter source code management in the Flex Builder project?

I noticed that Eclipse (Flex Builder) generates hundreds of metadata files. Should I check them into my source control? They seem to be necessary because if I delete them, Flex Builder will only open an empty workbench…

Some of these files are obviously not under source control (such as .history files and some Cache files). If I delete them, my project will open effortlessly. But the list is very long and it seems that there is no clear distinction between the files in the source control and the folders that do not contain the source files.

I can’t push them all into svn, even if I ignore the inefficiency, because Eclipse constantly generates new ones with different names, which in turn seems to be crucial for project loading.

Can anyone enlighten me?

Do not check hundreds of metadata files. If you want to be able to check out in a way that can be imported Project, please check in:

.actionScriptProperties
.project
.flexProperties

and “html-template” And “libs”. As Christian said, any resources you depend on. I usually save them as separate Flex Library projects.
