Adding directories, packages, and files to the Ignored Resources in the Team preferences do not actually get ignored. This is not true globally. Adding file patterns (*.obj) appears to work.
Could you please provide more details about what you mean by "directories, packages, and files". Perhaps you could include the set of patterns you tried and what you expected to happen.

The following example represents the problem I am experiencing with an actual version controlled project. View the attachments. The last 4 lines in the Team preferences list the ignored resource I added (example, bug\example, bug.example, BugExample.java). I would expect that anything inside and including the directories matching the patterns example and bug\example would be ignored. I would also expect that any files contained in and the package matching the pattern bug.example would be ignored. Also anything with a filename matching the pattern BugExample.java would be ignored. None of these cases ignore anything.
The first cases involve ignroing a path. The ignore facility only supports filename patterns (see bug 39239). As for ignoring BugExample.java, this works for me. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 39239 ***
None of these cases work for me; however, they did work in older versions of Eclpise (i.e. Eclipse 2.1).
The ignoring of directory paths (bug.example or bug/example has never been supported). As for file name patterns (example and BugExample.java), these should work. The only time these will fail is if the resource in question is shared with the repository. If you have a reproducable test case where these fail, please provide us with the steps and we will try to reproduce the failure.
