Which files need to be ignored when submitting a maven project to the git repository? What should the standard structure look like?

Question

The general standard maven webapp project structure is as follows. Do the .setting folders, .classpath files, and .project files need to be submitted to the git repository?
Considering that developers use different IDEs, are the above files all products of eclipse and should our version repository ignore them?
I hope developers with mysophobia can provide a standard specification of this type, thank you!

|_.settings
|_src
|   |_main
|   |    |_java
|   |    |_resources
|   |_test
|        |_java
|        |_resources
|_target
|_.classpath
|_.gitignore
|_.project
|_pom.xml
|_README.MD

Answer 1

No need. Just submit

• src

• pom.xml

• README.MD

• .gitignore

Other files are not required and should not be submitted, otherwise conflicts may easily occur.

Provide a java gitignore template:

### Java template
*.class

# Mobile Tools for Java (J2ME)
.mtj.tmp/

*.jar
*.war
*.ear
