Example of gitignore file for java

Can you show me example of .gitignore file for java, that consider a lot of different files that are not included(jar, war, classpath, files that IDEA and other IDE generates and so on and on). I mean really big .gitignore.

What I currently have is 

**/target/
/target/
*/target/*
.classpath
.project
.settings

# Package Files #
*.jar
*.war
*.ear

*.iml
*.idea
