[news.eclipse.tools] Re: Disabling "Copying resources to output folder".

["Richard L. Kulp" <richkulp@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Note: This newsgroup is deprecated. Should go to eclipse.tools.jdt 
newsgroup for this question.

Are the resource supposed to be in the classpath? Or are they just extra 
files that you had for other purposes but happen to be in the source 
directories.

If it is (1), then they need to be copied. If it is (2), they should be 
moved out of the source folders to non-source folders in the project.
(There are exclusion filters that can be used to exclude copy certain 
files, but if you have a lot of them, the filter could be cumbersome to 
create or get over aggressive).

If you want to try out the exclusion patterns, go to the 
project->Properties->Java Build Path. Select Source tab, expand the 
source folder, you will see (Exclusion filters), click on it and then 
the "Edit" button.
