Description Gary Coldren CLA 2001-12-14 12:04:43 EST 
The Java builder copies all non-Java resources to the output directory tree.  
If a user has added resource and/or Java element filters to weed out files that 
are not part of the Java project per se, then the Java builder should ignore 
these files.

My current work environment is a mixture of C, C++ and Java.  The source tree 
we have contains all of them, plus several other extraneous files that are 
managed by a CM tool but are not code files.  I can't change the source tree, 
but I can filter these non-Java files out of my Eclipse project.  The Java 
builder should honor my filters and not copy these files to the output tree.

Would need addition of a filter mechanism for resource copying (could be 
reusing the platform mechanism ?)
Comment 2 Philipe Mulet CLA 2002-02-26 07:21:31 EST 
We introduced in 20020214 a mechanism to filter files from the resource copy 
behavior.

Resource copy filters : A new setting allows to specify exclusion filters for 
resource being copied to the output folder.. 
option id: "org.eclipse.jdt.core.builder.resourceCopyExclusionFilters" 
possible values: { "[,]* } where is a file name pattern (only * wild-cards 
allowed) 
default: "" 

This setting will soon be surfaced in the Java UI.
