Using jazzignore to override platform ignore list
Can a project's .jazzignore file be used to 'un-ignore' a filetype that
is listed in the Eclipse platform ignore list ?? Why ? Well, I want to put a directory of build tools under jazz version control. The directory contains a number of .exe and .dll files (on Windows) and these file extensions are in the Eclipse platform ignore list. I want to keep the platform ignore list the way it, because, most of the time, .exe's and .dll's should be ignored. |

Can a project's .jazzignore file be used to 'un-ignore' a filetype that is listed in the Eclipse platform ignore list ?? Nope. The patterns specified in a .jazzignore are purely additive. They can't unignore something else. I want to put a directory of build tools under jazz version control. The directory contains a number of .exe and .dll files (on Windows) and these file extensions are in the Eclipse platform ignore list. I want to keep the platform ignore list the way it, because, most of the time, .exe's and .dll's should be ignored. On my build, .exe and .dll are shared by default. I suspect yours should be too. There are two possible reasons why they may be ignored: 1. They may be derived. Check if this is the case by opening the properties on the item, and looking for the 'derived' checkbox on the Resources page. Derived resources are generated from source, and are ignored. You can share a derived resource by clearing the derived checkbox. 2. They may be in an ignored directory. (As a side note: .dll and .exe aren't ignored by default because eclipse properly marks them as derived, meaning you don't need the patterns) If they are ignored, open the properties dialog, go to the Jazz page, and see what the ignore reason is. That should point you to the actual reason. e -- Evan Hughes Developer, Jazz SCM |
My Eclipse Ganymede (3.4 ?) had .exe and .dll in the platform ignore list.
Just curious, but how does Eclipse/Jazz know that a given file is 'derived' ? So, by design, the jazzignore file won't override the Eclipse platform settings ? Pity .. I have some other filetypes that my 'build tools' project needs to share. I'm going to be forced to share them in all projects. Thanks the info Cheers echughes wrote: David Wardwrote: |
