I noticed that I had a project named RemoteSystemTempFiles which I never have created. After googling it seems to be plugin feature on eclipse, but didn't got any other idea of it.

Can any one please give me a better idea, of what could I have done and bit explanation on this folder? and also if its not harmful to my other projects!

Easiest way to get rid of these files is remove them physically.... go to ../../eclipse-workspace/RemoteSystemsTempFiles and remove from there..

In fact, I find it quite useful during development, especially if I'm working on a project that has configurations, templates and properties files that are located outside of my project and I have no intention to include them in the package. if you open the .project of RemoteSystemsTempFiles you can link a couple of external folders that you might want to work on and not ship or version.(look at the link tag)
