Product Version = NetBeans IDE 7.0 (Build 201104080000)
Operating System = Linux version 2.6.37.6-0.5-desktop running on amd64
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.6.0_26
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 20.1-b02

I have a large project that includes very big generated files for protocol decoders (200MB of source code) these are located in subdirectories.
It will be very good if I can with some context menu on a folder disable whole folders from CodeAssistance or to have a possibility with filename pattern to specify which files to disable from CodeAssistance,

I envision a context menu on folder which will disable all files in folder and sub-folders from CodeAssistance matching entered file pattern - so I do not have to do it by hand for every single file - which are many. I can specify for example "*_gen.cpp, *_gen.h" and these files are removed from code assistance in folder and sub-folders. Alternatively some file-pattern mask can be a persistent folder property specifing which files shall be excluded from CodeAssistance.
