[news.eclipse.tools.jdt] .cvsignore! They do not seem to ignore cvs reso

[jeevan@xxxxx (JeevanS)]

I have configured CVS in my eclipse workspace.
How do .cvsignore files function?

In one of the web projects in CVS someone has checked in an empty folder 
(that holds the compiled binaries of the project)
eg. .\WEB-INF\classes

I added that directory name/ pattern into a local .cvsignore file (ie in
the parent direc)

After doing a compile whenever I do a synchronize that directory always
shows up in the sycnh view as outgoing change!
(no wud ever want to checkin binaries as they are ever changing)

Similar is the case with some other sub-folders. 
The CVS project holds 2 type files (some are related to the java projects
and some .net/ vb / csharp/ etc.)
I am interested only in file/ directories other than java, so hv added the
others to .cvsignore.

But those too keep appearing as "incoming change/ addition" every time I
synch.

Why? when I have an entries for resources I wish to ignore in .cvsignore
