[news.eclipse.platform] Re: excluding directories in plugin build

["Marc E" <marc_e@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

sweet, thanks Mark. I see what I had wrong now. in the bin.includes, my jar 
file was in there. so i removed that, included the bin directory and 
unchecked the stuff I didn't want, and now all is well. Thanks for pointing 
me in the right direction.

Best,

Marc

I think what you want is the bin.includes and bin.excludes properties in
the build.properties file of your plugin.  Try:

bin.excludes=dorking_around_folder/
