Add package to svn ignore in eclipse

Question

I am using subversive in eclipse to work with svn repo. I was wondering how it's possible to add a package to svn ignore? This is because I have consumed a webservices package (not yet added to SVN) and I want to exclude it from being committed to svn.

I tried right click > Team > Add to svn ignore, but the option was disabled.

UPDATE: the package name i want to ignore is remote.webservice which is a directory called remote and inside it a directory called webservice.

Using Subclipse it is also not possible to ignore packages. The only option available is "Add to Version Control" - seems to me like a bug in the team provider or in both SVN implementations? – Stroller

Answer 1

As a workaround you can ignore a folder by using the "Set property" function on the package one level higher.

Add the following property:

• Property: svn:ignore
• Value: last element of the package to be ignored

Stroller

what will be the value if the package name was remote.webservice, i couldn't figure out the expression, see post update please. – Saiga

Use "Set property" on the remote package and set the property value to webservice. – Stroller

but the package appears in eclipse as remote.webservice. – Saiga

Create a (temporary) file in the remote package and it will become visible. – Stroller

ok now i ignored the webservice package, but still can't ignore the remote package – Saiga

Just do the same - just one level higher using the src directory as a base. – Stroller

when i set svn ignore property value to remote on higher package nothing changed, still think that remote backage is new one and doesn't ignore it. – Saiga

can you please update the answer to include the details in comments. – Saiga
