Removing .jazz5 directory from workspace

It seems that my source component contains a directory .jazz5 - i.e. It must have been added to the component during initial load of the code.

From what I understand .jazz5 is an internal directory, created by RTC when loading a repository workspace, and therefore it's bad that its in my repository workspace.

Just to clarify what I mean, when I do 'Show Repository Files' in the Eclipse client, I see 3 entries: a. .jazz5, b. .metadata, and c. BPD (root of the actual code)

I guess that I need to somehow remove the .jazz5 from the repository workspace - how do I go about doing that?

I am using RTC 3.0.1.1

Just to confirm the problem - my workspace load is now never completing, since RTC SCM is going into a recursive loop, and populating the .jazz5/.jazz5/.jazz5/....... in an endless loop.

The .jazz5 and .metadata directories should not be under version
control, so that certainly indicates things have gone awry. But the
"load" function should protect itself against this situation, so if you
get a chance, it would be good to create a defect work item on jazz.net,
describing the steps you invoked that got you into the configuration
that resulted in this load loop.

WRT your current problem, probably the simplest way to delete the .jazz5
and .metadata directories from your source component is to use the web
interface. Use the source control page and select the stream you want
to modify.

Cheers,
