Automatically ignored Maven subprojects [message #1016640]

Hi,

after upgrading to Eclipse Juno SR2 from Juno SR1 I have a problem that some lines were added automatically to my .gitignore. After some time, I have figured out it's caused by a setting "Automatically ignore derived resources".

I do not know the exact purpose of this setting. But we have a Maven project xyz with subprojects xyz-server, xyz-client, xyz-api. Each subproject is in it's folder with the same name, i.e. /xyz-server, /xyz-client, /xyz-api.

And the Egit automatically adds lines to the .gitignore:
/xyz-server
/xyz-client
/xyz-api

I think it's wrong for such Maven project. I had to switch off the setting "Automatically ignore derived resources"

Cheers
Andy

Regarding the purpose please have a look at https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=297674. It basically says that git should ignore resources which are marked as derived.

I'm not very familiar with maven subprojects.

Are they nested in the filesystem into the parent project, is e.g. xyz-server a subfolder of xyz?
Does xyz-server has the derived flag? If so, why?

I've just found the same issue - took me ages to track it down. Eventually, after running sudo fs_usage | grep .gitignore it pointed me to STS.

Egit should not be treating maven sub-projects as derived resources, as they're simply just subfolders containing source assets.

Is there a bug filed for this anywhere?

I don't think so, and I have not seen it so please submit a bug report with a sample repo, or point so an existing one
that exhibits the problem, so the issue can be reproduced.
