How standard and interchangeable are XML config files?


I just began playing with NetBeans. My previous IDE was the
traditional (non-Eclipsized) Borland JBuilder, which used a
configuration file called <project_name>.jpx with XML lines inside.

NB creates a folder called 'nbproject' which contains inside a file
called 'project.xml'. That constitutes a bare bones, minimum project.

How standard are those XML configuration files? Can a file created by
NetBeans be read and interpreted by Eclipse, and vice versa?
