Ignoring Eclipse Project Files in an SVN Project

Question

I have a PHP project created in Eclipse with SVN support. Now Eclipse adds its project files .buildpath and .project to the project, and Subclipse wants to add it to the repository.

Now I could just use svn: ignore so that SVN ignores files, but this is not an option for various reasons. So, is there a way to make Eclipse and Subclipse ignore files (which is all the same)?

Answer 1

Preferences > Team > Ignored Resources

Answer 2

Can you use global-ignores ? If so, configure it in the config file:

• On Windows: C:\Documents and Settings\%USERID%\Application Data\Subversion\config
• On Linux: ~/.subversion/config

Answer 3

If you want to ignore folders in eclipse ignored resources, the */.settings/* template for the .settings folder, for example

Answer 4

Can I clear the "Show unversioned files" checkbox in the commit window?

Answer 5

If you right-click on a folder in eclipse and select "Show Properties ...", you can add svn:ignore right there and include it in each folder if you choose.

The following can be used as a template:

 svn:ignore .settings .project .classpath target 

Answer 6

If the above answer (turtle) does not have an option for the commit window directly, then

• go to the tortoise setup → context menu → check the click on the “Hide” menu for the unversioned path.
