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.
The target folder is the maven default output folder. When a project is build or packaged, all the content of the sources, resources and web files will be put inside of it, it will be used for construct the artifacts and for run tests. You can delete all the target folder content with mvn clean command.
Solution was: Right click project -> properties -> build path -> Source tab -> "Allow output folders for source folders" and add the output folder target/classes explicit to each source folder.
Mark the "target" folders as "derived" resource from the properties screen of those folders (this option is next to read only and archive property).
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.
