how to temporarily disable a package in a project from compiling in Java EE IDE

Question

How can I temporarily disable a package in a project from compiling in Java EE IDE? The package has some source files that I want to prevent from compiling temporarily.

Answer 1

If it is eclipse, try -

Project properties -> Java Build Path -> Source -> Excluded

Answer 2

If it is in another project, just right click on the project and select close project, you can easily re-open it when you need it back. If it is in the same project, go to properties->Java Build Path->Source->Excluded. You can shift up and down easily and set priorities. Hope that help.
