How does Eclipse handle excluding Java files in the project??

In C# the list of files in the project is handled in the sln file – There seems nothing similar in Eclipse!!

Any ideas?

    In Visual Studio files for C# projects are stored in the .csproj files. Solutions are just containers for projects (which can be C#/C++/VB/… projects).

    The last time I worked with Eclipse all files beneath the project’s root were automatically included. When one was excluded from the build the project’s .classpath file was modified:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<classpath>
  <classpathentry excluding="ExcludedFile.java" kind="src" path="src"/>
  <!-- ... other entries ... -->
</classpath>

    You can exclude a file in Eclipse by right-clicking it in the Package Explorer and then choosing Build Path -> Exclude.
