In my Eclipse project are a handful of generated .java files that I need to use for SQLJ and I can’t move to a separate project (due to Administrative Overhead). These files are also regularly regenerated so editing them is unfortunately out.
Unfortunately these files generate a few hundred java compiler warnings which drown out the useful warnings I get on files that I actually can edit.
Is there any way in Eclipse to say Ignore all the warnings of a file-by-file basis? Or can I block out a specific sub-directory?
The “problems” view in eclipse can be filtered; I always have it set to “on selected element and its children only”. Granted, this is more of a work-around, but it lessens the impact of having the files in the same project. (Note that even if you must have them in the same project, you can keep them in a separate source folder).
Edit: To configure the filters, find the icon with a downward arrow with tooltip “View Menu” on the top right of the problems view. Click it, and then click “configure contents”.
