as I understand, that will have an effect on repository commits since in our projects we do checkin the generated code ? |

Actually it will have an effect on all git checkouts. AFAIK Git already has a handling to normalize CRLR / LR on all text files before committing them. And when checking them out, it will apply the platform specific line handling to all text files. This now ensures that whenever a generated file is checkout out from Git, it will always have LF line endings the way the Vert.x code generator uses. This way an IDE will no longer show the files as changed. Alternatives: (1) do not check in generated code, or (2) teach the generator to generate files with the line endings of the OS it runs on. See for a longer and official explanation: https://git-scm.com/docs/gitattributes#_eol |

Closes #5849
Motivation:
This aligns the Git settings with the behavior of CodeGen.
An alternative approach would be to teach CodeGen to use the platform specific line endings. Let me know if that is preferred instead, or any other solution.
