Repository contains compiled class files

[HannesWell]

I noticed that this git-repo has compiled Java class-files checked in, for example in:
https://github.com/eclipse-modisco/org.eclipse.modisco/tree/master/archive/org.eclipse.modisco.infra.query.jxpath/bin/org/eclipse/modisco/infra/query/jxpath

Usually that's not necessary and has multiple disadvantages like a larger repo size, multiple changes due a change in a source-file, etc.

It's probably best to check if there are more .class files checked into this git-repository and should exclude/git-ignore all *.class files or bin/ folders.

Yes (How did you notice?)

I'm well puzzled:

class files were ignored in the original project so why aren't they ignored after refactoring to archive?

where has the auto-ignore for bin tree files gone from GIT? Sometimes a .gitignore for bin was required. Never quite understood the irregularity.

where has the ability to display bin files in the package/project explorer gone? It seems that the removal of the navigator view has reverted the show binary that was possible with package/project explorer.
