 - The .project file contains paths for the local machine, which will
only work if the filesystem layout is the same on all developer machines.
 - The project name can be different from one developer to the next
(e.g. if you use two clones of the same project, you would want to name
them differently in Eclipse).
 - The .pydevproject contains the name of the selected interpreter,
which must therefore be the same across all installations (in my case,
some developers named it "Python2.6" and others "Python 2.6").

Just a few reasons why I don't keep the .project files (and others of
the same type) under version control.
