Make .gitignore addition smarter and add comments to ignored files ------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: JBIDE-17904 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-17904 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Enhancement Components: openshift Affects Versions: 4.2.0.Beta3 Reporter: Max Rydahl Andersen Labels: server_adapter Fix For: 4.2.0.CR2 currently *Any* openshift app creation/import we add the following blindly: {code} target .settings/* !.settings/.jsdtscope .classpath {code} These does not make much sense for most apps besides java. Can't we be a bit more intelligent about it ? i.e. if the project is not a maven project, don't add 'target' if project is not a java project do not add .classpath And then I suggest adding comments to the .gitignore to make it clear what they do: {code} # if you want *all* eclipse settings to be shared comment this out, otherwise leave in. .settings/* # keep .jsdtscope to share javascript validations exclusions to avoid too many false positive warnings !.settings/.jsdtscope {code}
