Description Aaron Digulla CLA 2007-01-09 07:39:55 EST 
The documentation (help/ntopic/org.eclipse.jdt.doc.user/reference/ref-123.htm) say:

Exclusion filter: Selects which resources are not visible to the compiler

From this, I'd expect that if I added "*", then either nothing would be compiled or none of the non-java files would be copied to the bin directory.

Neither seems to be true. So what is this option for?
