Date: 2010jun10 Product: Eclipse Q. How do I exclude a file or folder from my Eclipse source? A. A quick way:

- Right-click on the offending item (Can be a file or folder) - Select Java Build Path > Exclude

This adds an "exclude pattern" to your project the "pattern" is the exact path to the file or folder you right-clicked on. To add a general pattern you can do:

- Project > Properties > Java Build Path > Source - Click on "Excluded" - Click on "Edit" - Click on "Add"

I like to add these exclude patterns:

**/*.Old **/Old/ Trailing slash is required

These will get Eclipse to ignore all files with ".Old" extension and all folders called "Old".
