How to make Eclipse CDT ignore files

I have a C ++ project in Eclipse. The project uses Perforce and Eclipse has the Perforce plugin installed. Everything was fine until I decided to create a git repository in my project. I created a git repository to take a snapshot of some changes that I was not ready to commit. Everything was fine until I updated my files in Eclipse. There were two problems:

  • Eclipse found my .git folder and indexed all the files inside it.
  • Eclipse also decided to add the entire git file to the pending list.

If I create a new file in Eclipse, I would like to add it to Perforce, but if it happens to find the file, I don't want it to do anything with it. I would also like to give Eclipse a list of file types that are always ignored, as I did with my .gitignore file.

I am using the P4WSAD plugin, but I am sure the problem can occur anytime you have files that you want Eclipse not to see.

Just add the file .p4ignore

to your project root and add whatever you need P4WSAD to ignore like

.git


See the document on P4WSAD for details .

This should take care of part of Perforce

your question. For a part Eclipse

see this SO question .
