While adding for the first time files to TFS2012 some of them where suggested to be ignored (like .dll’s, exe’s etc.)

In fact some of those suggested to ignore files I need in TFS. So I’ve explicitly removed them from the ignored list and added them to TFS.

Now in Visual Studio I can work with those files normally but not in Eclipse! In Eclipse they are still labeled as “Ignored” and all team functionality is disabled! 🙁

Is there a way to solve this problem??

P.S. Of course those files are not in the .tfignore.

ADDED:

Ignoring seems to be done based on the file extension (.dll) and the folder name (\bin).

    Certain files (such as DLLs) are ignored by default in Team Foundation Server local workspaces.

    In order to override the default ignore state, you will need to set a .tfignore line that specifies that DLLs should not be ignored. From the documentation:

    # Do not ignore .dll files in this folder nor in any of its sub-folders
!*.dll
