default.properties not in svn

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Check out source from SVN into eclipse (using subclipse) as a new project

I expected that the project would be ready to be run without any errors.

I get the error message "project has no default.properties file".

I solved the issue by simply adding a default.properties file in the root. I 
simply copied the file from one of my android projects. My file contained:

"
# This file is automatically generated by Android Tools.
# Do not modify this file -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE ERASED!
# 
# This file must be checked in Version Control Systems.
# 
# To customize properties used by the Ant build system use,
# "build.properties", and override values to adapt the script to your
# project structure.

# Project target.
target=android-4
"

The comments in the file says that it must be checked into version control. 
Could you please add this or a similar file?

I'm using eclipse 3.5 (Build id: 20100617-1415) on Ubuntu 10.04. I don't know 
the specific version of the android plugin, but I just downloaded the newest 
one.

Added in a recent commit, and requires testing.

Well that did fix that error, but the eclipse .classpath and .project files 
have also been committed. This means that the project can no longer be imported 
as a new project, but you instead have to import as an existing project in 
eclipse. It can be debated if .classpath and .project should be there. I 
generally think it is a bad idea because they are not necessary and I've had 
problems on other occasions with them getting filled with machine specific 
things.
