In my project folder a lot of files, but I don't want have them all in my Netbeans project. Also Netbeans scanning them automatically using more memory and time.

Solution working with Netbeans 7.3:

  • right click on your project in the "Projects" window,
  • click on "Properties",
  • click on "Ignored folders" in the left panel called "Categories",
  • click on "Add folder" and select the folders you want to ignore.

Are you referring to unwanted projects in the dropdown menu or unwanted files in one project? And which files specifically are you referring to? If it is useless in the project, you could just delete the file, although if it comes with the project, I would be careful since most of those are required in the project. If you are referring to other projects in the project dropdown menu, you could always put the projects that you have finished in another folder.
