I use Eclipse and m2e, and I too see a bunch of cruft
(.project/.classpath files and the .settings directory).  Personally,
I'd love to remove and svn ignore em, but I think other developers use
them :)

I would recommend using m2e and either add those eclipse files to your
SVN global ignore (a client-side property for the your whole machine)
or pretend you don't see them hanging around (easier to do in a
graphical SVN client than command line).
