jakarta ee - Exclude target folder from search results in Eclipse

Question

I was wondering if it's possible to exclude target folder from eclipse quick search :

Ctrl+Shift+R

If anyone knows how to do that, please advise.

Update: I am using Maven 2, and M2E , WTP Eclipse plug-ins.

Answer 1

1. Mark the "target" folders as "derived" resource from the properties screen of those folders (this option is next to read only and archive property).

2. In the quick search (Ctrl+Shift+R) screen press the arrow in the top right corner and untick "Show derived resources".

Then those target-files will not be considered in the quick search anymore.
