Hi,

Well, if it were me, I think I would commit that eclipse config file
under a different name... Say, ".classpath.defaults" instead of
".classpath". Then your README file could tell your users to start by
copying the .classpath.defaults to .classpath, and update its contents
as necessary. Put .classpath in your .gitignore file, so it won't be
committed to the repository.
