There is under the Java Build Path dialog of the project properties, a 
tab to setup the source path. If you expand the source path, you will 
see an include/exclude filter that can be edited (with the edit button). 
Now just add the files you do not want to see, or build to the exclude 
(bottom window) list.

You are done.

Hope this helps,
