.settings, do they?

I think this is an Eclipse naming convention, so it has to be .settings.

And even if they do, we can always go back to
our original process where we kept these in a contrib/eclipse
directory.

True. I'd say keep .classpath, .project and .settings in each project root directory until it cases a problem to somebody. This allows to quickly restore the workspace from scratch, so it is about productivity and consistency.

I'd prefer to keep the .settings stuff on the wiki as exported xml files. Anyone using Eclipse could then import the xml files.

But I'm open to keeping the .settings file around, only problem would be if NetBeans or whatever decided they also used the same name directory and we had a conflict.

No, I'd rather see these in the repository.
