+This folder contains eclipse and subversion configurations.
+Note that changes to these files should be approved by the quality assurance team.
+Changing the first file requires all users to update their local copy manually.
+Changing the Eclipse preference files takes effect after users update their
+checked out copy.

+File				Description
+config				Subversion configuration to be copied to your personal subversion
+					directory (e.g. ~/.subversion/config, %USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Subversion\config)
+					@see_also "https://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxDEV/subversion-client-configuration.html"

+org.eclipse.jdt.core.prefs
+org.eclipse.jdt.ui.prefs
+					Eclipse Java Properties to be used in each fortiss plugin. This changes project settings
+					of the project, so everyone who checked out that project works with the same setting.
+					INSTALL: in order to enable these settings for your plugin, follow these steps:
+					  1. Make sure the plugin folders ".settings" sub-folder is also checked in.
+					  2. If the sub-folder contains these two files, delete them (from the repository, too).
+					  3. Add or change the svn property "svn:externals" of ".settings" folder to include the
+					     following two lines (this creates a file link to the two files contained in this
+					     README's folder):
+					       ^/fortiss-std-env/settings/org.eclipse.jdt.core.prefs org.eclipse.jdt.core.prefs
+						   ^/fortiss-std-env/settings/org.eclipse.jdt.ui.prefs org.eclipse.jdt.ui.prefs

+### Section for configuring tunnel agents.
+[tunnels]
+### Configure svn protocol tunnel schemes here.  By default, only
+### the 'ssh' scheme is defined.  You can define other schemes to
+### be used with 'svn+scheme://hostname/path' URLs.  A scheme
+### definition is simply a command, optionally prefixed by an
+### environment variable name which can override the command if it
+### is defined.  The command (or environment variable) may contain
+### arguments, using standard shell quoting for arguments with
+### spaces.  The command will be invoked as:
+###   <command> <hostname> svnserve -t
+### (If the URL includes a username, then the hostname will be
+### passed to the tunnel agent as <user>@<hostname>.)  If the
+### built-in ssh scheme were not predefined, it could be defined
+### as:
+# ssh = $SVN_SSH ssh
+### If you wanted to define a new 'rsh' scheme, to be used with
+### 'svn+rsh:' URLs, you could do so as follows:
+# rsh = rsh
+### Or, if you wanted to specify a full path and arguments:
+# rsh = /path/to/rsh -l myusername
+### On Windows, if you are specifying a full path to a command,
+### use a forward slash (/) or a paired backslash (\\) as the
+### path separator.  A single backslash will be treated as an
+### escape for the following character.
+
+### Section for configuring miscelleneous Subversion options.
