What is a PROJECT file?
Whenever you work with the Eclipse program, a .project file is created in XML format to enable later editing. Inside the Project file are two folders, namely bin and src. The src folder is the most important as it stores all java files. The file acts as storage for build specifications, project name, and nature settings. Generally, you will need project files when creating and editing any projects on Eclipse IDE workspace. A workspace here is like a directory for your project. Kind of like My Documents on Windows OS. Project files are created for self-description purposes such that in case you are dealing with a zipped file, it can be recreated when you send it to another computer. Unless you know what you are doing, you should never dare delete or rename a .project file. That could render your file unusable. In fact, once posted on a workspace startup, it will be closed and cannot be accessed unless fixed.
