Exclude directories & subdirectories from validation in Eclipse

How do I exclude a folder AND its sub-directories from validation in eclipse? I know that you can right click on a folder in Package Explorer and select Exclude Validation, but if you have sub-directories under it, you'd have to this for each and it isn't ideal for generated directories or ones with many sub-folders.

Any plug-ins that might be able to do this?

For those PHP developers who coding in Eclipse Mars.

  1. Right click on folder.
  2. choose "Use As Library Folder"

For example in laravel framwork, you can exclude /vendor, /storage and /node_modules folders from eclipse validation.

I'm running Helios SR 1 right now so hopefully this works...

  • Select the Project
    • Right Click
    • Properties
    • Validation Menu -> Enable Project Specific Settings
    • Select the validator in question
    • Select/Deselect the validation for build/manual (or, if it something like the web tools you can configure specific rules by plugin--such as excluding a folder)

Hope that helps, it is by tool.

I think the best way is:

  • Right click the project
  • Properties
  • Java Build Path
  • "Source" tab
  • Select the folder that contains the file you want to exclude
  • Click the button "Edit..."
  • Next button
  • In the "Exclude patterns" Click "Add..." button
  • Add your filter

The filter can be a single file or multiple files.

I usually exclude validation in this way, I believe it will be recursive.

  • Right-click on your project and select Properties.
  • Choose Validation from the left-nav menu.
  • If it is not already selected choose "Enable project specific settings".
  • Find the validator that is relevant for what you want to exclude and click the "..." in the Settings column.
  • Highlight the Exclude Group and click Add Rule. (If you don't have any existing exclusions you may have to add an Exclude Group.)
  • Select Folder or file name as the Filter Type.
  • Click Next.
  • Select Browse Folder and find the folder you want to exclude.
