Description Ben Cox CLA 2013-09-18 07:04:51 EDT 
If you clone the eclipse.pde.ui Git repository and then Import Projects for all projects, you get a number of new unstaged changes appearing, due to the Java builder running and generating .class files and a copied .txt file in the bin folders of numerous API Tools projects. This can make it difficult to detect which changes are real.

I've created a commit with .gitignores added and pushed it to Gerrit.

As Dani already pointed out on Gerrit the projects in the test project are not intended to be checked out on their own, they are used solely in the test environment.

I guess in the event someone does check them out we should probably add a .gitignore to each project (also as was mentioned on Gerrit)
