How to get back a file that was excluded from a build configuration in Eclipse CDT?

Question

Using Indigo and a managed build C++ project, I right-clicked on a source file and selected Resource Configurations->Exclude From Build..., and the file promptly disappears. Scrolling down shows it at the bottom of the list of source files with a new dimmed icon. Now how do I get it back? The Reset to Default... option is always dimmed out. Right-clicking on the excluded file still only shows the Exclude From Build... option. Is there an Include in Build option somewhere? I realize I can go to .cproject file and manually edit it back in but I figure there must be a way to do it from the IDE.

Yes this is an old question. But people do go looking for answers years later..

There's an easy way, but it's counter intuitive. Right click the excluded item, select "exclude from build", and on the dialog that appears, uncheck the builds for which you'd like the item back. Note the convenient 'Deselect All' button.
