How to ignore directories under project [message #254465]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me how I can configure my eclipse projects to ignore
resources under a certain directory under my project's directory.

Specifically, I want to ignore everything under the 'target' directory
created when I do a maven build. It's inconvenient to have to sift through
all these resources for search results etc...

Thanks,

Alex

In a Java project, you can Include/Exclude resources on Source folders from
the Java Build Path->Source tab. Select the source folder and click the
edit button.

If it were part of your source tree it would be easy to exclude it (as
Dave already pointed out), but if you just want to completely ignore a
directory in all parts of the Eclipse UI you'll have to define a Working
Set that excludes that directory and then set up your UI to use the
Working Set.
Search the Eclipse Help for "working sets" (no quotes) and you'll find
the details.

Hope this helps,
Eric
