Automatically generated .gitignore files [message #1079904]

Hello

I am using EMF XCore to generate Java Source Files into an src-gen Source-Directory. When I share this project to move it into the Git repository, some .gitignore files are automatically generated to exclude the generated source files.

We would like to have these source files under version control. The major reason being, that not all developers have XCore installed in there Eclipse, but still need to compile the sources.

In the settings, I deactivated "Team > Git > Projects > Automatically ignore derived resources by adding them to .gitignore", but this has no effect on the issue.

To reproduce the problem:

1) Create an Xcore Project in the Workspace
2) Create the model and let XCore generate the files
3) Use "Team -> Share" to move the project into the Git repository

The .gitignore files will be created on step #3.

Is this a bug or am I missing a configuration possibility?

Thanks!
Christoph
