Exclude directories & subdirectories from validation in Eclipse

Question

How do I exclude a folder AND its sub-directories from validation in eclipse? I know that you can right click on a folder in Package Explorer and select Exclude Validation,

Answer 1

I think the best way is:

• Right click the project
• Properties
• Java Build Path
• "Source" tab
• Select the folder that contains the file you want to exclude
• Click the button "Edit..."
• Next button
• In the "Exclude patterns" Click "Add..." button
• Add your filter

The filter can be a single file or multiple files.
