This is just a reminder that this is important functionality which must be handled somehow: to be able to exclude some files from the building in some configurations. The usecase is that in JDK14 Configuration I want to exclude JDK13 files from the bulding and vice versa for JDK13 Configuration. One possible solution is to leave this up to modules. Java module can offer this property on its java data objects and compiled classes build target will understand this property. Other solution would be to provide some generic support in infrastructure. The support would be probably very simple. It make no sense to show this property on all project sources. The module writters should decide if they want to enable this on their data objects or not. The advantage of this support would be that all files (java, c, ...) would have this property on the same place, with the same name, etc.

I think the infrastructure can help much in this area. Modules providing build targets need to implement this feature. I agree that the UI presentation should be consistent between different modules we could perhaps mention it in styleguide. Dirk, please, keep it in mind when working on Netbeans styleguide. I am assigning this task to java module, please, put it in your plans. Also CCing Dirk to let hom know.
Ehm, I wanted to say: "... the infrastructure can't help ..."
