In my Eclipse project, I have a mixture of java files, xml, and various files with different file extensions. I want to perform searches on a regular basis on everything except for the java files, to look for certain settings.
Is there a way to tell Eclipse to search all the files, EXCEPT the one’s with a .java extension?
The best thing you can do inside the file search dialog is to press the button “Choose” for the “File name patterns”, then press “select all” and deselect “*.java”.
But beware! This doesn’t look for all file extensions in your project and lists them. It’s a predefined set of extensions.
