copying my comments from JBIDE-10391:

In most project I was involved (before Red Hat) in, 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.). The same applies 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 configuration files to the gitignore we prevent them from being committed to the OpenShift git repo and 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.

> When enabling an OpenShift application for an existing project that already contains Git configuration the OpenShift should not change the .classpath, .project and .settings configuration in .gitignore. The user might have had a reason not to ignore them and might be surprised when his configuration changes.
