In the Eclipse environment, you can specify name patterns
that, if matched, prevent the named resource from being considered
for addition to source control.
Before you begin
This option is available only when
using the IBM Rational® ClearTeam Explorer™ for Eclipse.
Procedure
- From the main Eclipse menu bar, select .
- In the left pane of the Preferences window, expand the Team category
and select Ignored Resources. A list of name
patterns is displayed against which resources will be compared before
they are considered as candidates for version control.
- Optional: To remove a name pattern from the
list of patterns to be ignored, clear the check box to the left of
the pattern.
- Optional: To include a name pattern on the
list of patterns to be ignored, select the check box to the left of
the pattern.
- Optional: To add a new pattern, click Add.
