When using the Force.com IDE, it is recommend that you only add the “src” folder in your Force.com project. You do not want to include the “Referenced Packages” folder or the file “salesforce.schema”. After checking out a project from a version control system into a new workspace, you may need to indicate that the project is a Force.com project. To do so, right-click on the project and select Force.com > Add Force.com Nature. If you do this and instead see the option Force.com > Remove Force.com Nature then your project is already correctly configured to use the Force.com IDE plug-in. The final step is to right-click on the project and select Properties, then select Force.com in the left nav. This page allows you specify the credentials to your Salesforce organization, which are not saved to the version control project.
