I think we can all agree, when a developer gets a project out of their source control system... it should successfully build.

I think the questions would be more interesting had I asked "what extraneous files are you certain to add" – JaredCacurak Sep 26 '09 at 02:50

Anything that's generated from the items you check into source control.
Things I check in:
- Source files (usually .java for me, but can be other languages)
- 3rd party JARs
- Configuration XML or .properties
- HTML, CSS, JSPs for web apps
- SQL scripts
- Design (UML) and documentation (Word or HTML)
- Unit test classes and any data I need to run them
Things I don't:
- Compiled .class files
- Generated JAR or WAR files
- javadocs
- JUnit report HTML and results

@NTDLS - I'd guess intermediate artifacts of compilation (e.g., .obj or .class files) – Bob Kaufman Sep 26 '09 at 04:43

It mean s- Leave out anything that can be automatically generated from things you are including – Martin Beckett Sep 26 '09 at 04:43

I can generate javadocs from the source code. That is the best way to keep it up to date. If you want to change the javadocs you should be modifying the source files. True for all generated artifacts. Should be obvious. – duffymo Sep 13 '22 at 13:26

In addition to generated files, in Visual Studio I leave out mstest files (.vsdmi), resharper user files, Visual Studio user files (.suo).

I always leave out compiled files, which for me are generally of the .pyc variety.
