How to exclude .svn directories from search in Eclipse? [duplicate]

Answer 1

I think that the easiest way is creating a Working Set:

1. Open Search dialog (Ctrl+h)
2. Change search scope to Working Set
3. Click Choose ...
4. Click New to create a new Working Set with the what you want searched (alternatively you can Add All and then remove the ones you want filtered (the .svn dirs).

Hope it helps

Answer 2

1. Open project's Properties.
2. Resource/Resource Filters
3. Click Add... button.
4. Configure filter:
   • Filter type: Exclude all
   • Applies to: Folders
   • x All children (recursive)
   • Leave selected positions in combobox (Name, matches) and type .svn
   • Click OK

It works OK for me.
