How can I exclude some folders from my Eclipse project?

Question

I\'m adding an eclipse project to our existing code-base, and I\'d like to know if there is a way to exclude some directories from being picked up by eclipse at all? The reason

Answer 1

There is a straight way to do it:

1. Right-click a project folder in Project Explorer tree and go to "Properties".
2. Resource -> Resource Filters.
3. Add as many exclusion filters for files/folders as you like.

P.S. If your project tree is not updated automatically you may have to press F5 while having input focus in Project Explorer window.
