Eclipse file search finds the same file multiple times

Question

In Eclipse I have two maven projects A and B, where A is a parent for B. The directory structure is the following:

A/pom.xml
A/B/pom.xml
A/B/...

Answer 1

What I personally do to avoid this is marking each module in the parent project as derived (right-click on the folder > properties > Attributes: Derived).

Then when you perform a file search, uncheck "Consider derived resources" (I don't think it is checked by default) and you won't get the A/B/.

The only inconvenience is that you must do this for each module, and each time a new module is added.
