setting up Eclipse to work with Git properly

After I cloned uima-uimaj, I imported it into Eclipse.

To my surprise, Eclipse inserted a .gitignore file into every subproject (there
was a .gitignore at the top level).

I think this behavior could be turned off by a Eclipse preferences setting:
Window -> Preferences -> Team -> Git -> Projects and uncheck "Automatically
ignore derived resources by adding them to .gitignore.

With this checked, it adds a .gitignore with one line:
/target/

Is this the right way to set up Eclipse?  -Marshall

In my Eclipse, this option is turned on, yet I don't observe Eclipse adding
.gitignore files to every project if there is already a proper .gitignore
in the root. I import projects into Eclipse by first checking out with a 
separate client (Sourcetree) and then doing an "Import existing Maven projects"
in Eclipse.
