Description mariusz_m 2013-08-19 06:45:00 UTC
Product Version = NetBeans IDE 7.4 Beta (Build 201307092200)
Operating System = Windows XP version 5.1 running on x86
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.7.0_11
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 23.6-b04


This is another well known issue.
Is it a real problem to extend project folder properties and allow excluding all it's content from build?
Having a few targets, and 4 level deep folder structure with library that contains several files (not my code, so I keep the structure), and I have exclude all these files separatelly from build for 3 of total 4 targets. More projects and more targets means more stupid, annoing job.
This is another release I'v been waiting for after latest changes and improvement made, while this problem is still ignored (I should use more bluntly word here).
Regards, Mariusz

Rather than complaining, try to describe what you want. I don't understand a bit of what you wrote. I don't even know what project you are working on.

Hi Jaroslav,
I am talking about that I have to open Properties dialog and select appropriate option for each file I want to exclude from the build.
What I want is an option in Folder properties dialog to exclude a whole directory content from the build.
Comment 3 Jaroslav Tulach 2013-09-10 10:31:04 UTC
What type of project? What type of file? What kind of build?
Comment 4 mariusz_m 2013-09-10 11:02:07 UTC
Build: Netbeans for C++
Target type: application (but also library)
Type of file? I don't understand...

Hi,
I see that in NB 8.2 it is possible to select multiple files in project tree and set common properties, including "Exclude from build".

Lets agree this issue is no longer valid ;)
