[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-10391) an existing .gitignore should get merged

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-10391?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugi... ] Andre Dietisheim commented on JBIDE-10391: ------------------------------------------ In most project I was involved (before Red Hat), eclipse specific configuration files were considered as non-project files which were not committed to the source control system. Even more if there were project members that were not working with eclipse (but intellij, netbeans etc.). Even more if you consider that the default project, that is created when you create a new openshift application - does not have any eclipse specific files. By adding those eclipse configuration files to the gitignore we prevent them from being committed to the OpenShift git repo, we keep them local since they were created when importing the app to the local workspace. Therefore, the current behaviour is a reasonable default to me. The user may still remove those entries from gitignore manually and commit the eclipse files if he wants to. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
