Description Ken Silveman CLA 2005-06-30 16:32:04 EDT 
We should be able to remove a file from a project without deleting it.  That 
option is not presented ie 'remove file from project' should be an option.
Comment 1 Ken Silveman CLA 2005-06-30 20:11:50 EDT 
Yes, you can remove the file by deselecting the source under the project's 
compile build options but it is more straight forward to add this to the 
navigator's left click options just above delete   -   ie 'remove from project' 
or with a checkbox option, 'remove from project only' in the delete item 
popup.  (Please forward this to the UI staff!)

Thanks,

Ken

Select file to exclude, and in pkg explorer do: Build path>Exclude
The exclusion filters will be automatically configured on classpath entry.
No need to delete the actual file itself.
