As did I. Probably it has some historical reason.

I guess it has to do with different installations of clients. If we all 
agree on using maven as the primary build tool, then we could add 
.classpath and .project to the CVS repository. Then everyone could 
create a classpath variable in Eclipse named MAVEN_REPO which would 
point to the local maven repository. All library dependencies would be 
resolved against that variable. I.E. 
MAVEN_REPO/httpunit/jars/httpunit-1.5.4.jar and so on.

It is not even necessary for everyone to use maven as their build system 
(would be comfortable though), as long as everyone declares the 
MAVEN_REPO variable (when they use Eclipse) and mimic the repository 
structure of maven.

My 2cts.
