How to exclude folders in an Eclipse project

[Matt]

Can anyone tell me how to get the Vault 5.1 plugin for Eclipse to exclude certain folders in a project? For example, I've got a deliverables folder and a .preprocessed folder that always get updated after a build, and the Vault plugin keeps trying to add every file in these folders to source control, and I don't want them in source control. I then have delete them manually from the pending checkins list, and it's getting to be a real annoyance.

Thanks in advance.../Matt

The first thing you might try is to add the folder you want excluded to the excluded folders list in the Vault admin web page. Once you are on the Vault admin web page, expand the repository on the left that holds your Eclipse project and click the File Types link. On the right side will be an area to list folder exclusions. Add a ; and your folder name and click Save. Restart Eclipse and see if that helps.

If there are particular file extensions to not add, you might also list them under the File Exclusions as well.

If Eclipse still tries to add the folder, let me know.
