Ignoring Eclipse project files in SVN project

I have a PHP project set up in Eclipse with SVN support. Now, Eclipse adds its project files .buildpath and .project to the project and Subclipse wants to add it to the repository.

Now I could just use svn:ignore to let SVN ignore the files, but that's not an option for various reasons. So, is there a way to make Eclipse and Subclipse ignore the files (which it should anyway)?

In Eclipse Indigo it is a bit different. Properties > SVN Info > Right click in field with list of keywords > Add > Name will be svn:ignore, Property will be list of ignored files e.g. .project But this answer guided me in right direction, so thanks. – Katabatic 14/8, 2013 at 7:54

The OP was looking for something that didn't use svn:ignore. But that's generally a better way to make sure they're not committed by anyone. – Makepeace 14/8, 2013 at 15:10

@Makepeace solution works perfectly. I added the following patterns: .classpath .project .settings */.settings/* */target */target/* – Especial 14/7, 2015 at 13:23

Can you use global-ignores? If yes, customize it in your config file:

On Windows: C:\Documents and Settings\%USERID%\Application Data\Subversion\config
On Linux: ~/.subversion/config

Not specifically for Eclipse, but was very helpful to me. – Consort 3/12, 2013 at 19:27

If you want to ignore folders in the eclipse ignored resources, the pattern is */.settings/* for the .settings folder for example

.settings is sufficient. – Encage 30/7, 2013 at 9:40

Can you just uncheck the box for "Show unversioned files" in the commit window?

If you right click on the folder in eclipse, and select Show Properties... you can add the svn:ignore right there and have it cascade down to every folder if you choose.

You could the following as a template:

svn:ignore

.settings
.project
.classpath
target

There is no place to add svn:ignore in the properties dialog. – Bolide 25/7, 2016 at 16:23

if above answer (tortoise) has no option for commit window directly then

go in tortoise setting -->context menu --> check the click on hide Menus for the unversioned path
