Can I set a JSP "source path"? [message #230572]

I created a dynamic web project, and pointed at some existing code. There
is no WebContent structure in that code today. Instead, there are various
directories like test, misc, perf, and so on.

WTP is walking the directory tree and compiling/validating everything it
can find.

With Java, you can do Project > Build Path > Source, and you can specify
which directories to include and which to exclude.

I was hoping to find that same sort of thing for JSPs...but haven't found
it yet.

Is there a way to configure my web project so that it does not consider
certain directories? I want it to find JSP source in the webapps folder
and the WEB-INF folder, but nowhere else.

Thanks in advance.

The Validation preference page should contain a button in the
Settings column for the JSP Syntax Validator. You can modify the
filtering rules there.

I guess that is similar to what I want. With the validation rules, which
I had found, I can go through and tell it not to do validation in
directories A, B, C with a separate rule for each.

That is a bit of work in my case, since there are several directories I
want to ignore.

I was hoping for something under Build Path like a Web Source tab where I
could include/exlude directories.

Any chance something like that is in the works? Is it a good enough idea
to submit a bug/enhancement request?

Thanks, though, for the speedy reply!!

Two requests that go towards this direction:
