I followed this help page to add folder to a features based product. In build.properties file I added:
root=iwrepo
'iwrepo' corresponds to a folder with sub-folders residing in a feature where the above mentioned properties file is. After the build, I get only folders under 'iwrepo' folder moved to Eclipse install directory (annogen,antlr, etc), not what I expected - 'iwrepo' folder with its sub-folders.
What am I doing wrong?
As per documentation
Similar to the "root" and "root." properties, except that instead of being copied into the root of the eclipse install, files and folders are instead copied into the given subfolder.
Instead of root=iwrepo, I need to use root.folder.iwrepo=iwrepo. This correctly subfolders folders under iwrepo.

I am trying to exclude some .swift and .storyboard files from my project (Xcode9) for release build using EXCLUDED_SOURCE_FILE_NAMES.
But its not working for me.
Is it possible to give any folder name to exclude it completely?
How to give multiple files and folder name?
It is not working if I give path like ../ForlderName/*.
Folder is at the same level as my project.
Is it possible to exclude sub-folders files as well?
I am able to exclude if my hierarchy is
MyProject Folder
|_
MyProject Folder
|_FolderToBeExcluded
If I gave FolderToBeExcluded/* it is working but file in FolderToBeExcluded's subfolders are not getting excluded.
If my heirachy is like this (ie folder to be excluded and project folder both at same level)
FolderToBeExcluded
MyProject Folder
|_
MyProject Folder
If I give ../FolderToBeExcluded/
or $(SRCROOT)/../FolderToBeExcluded/
both are not working
If I give directly any one of the file name which is to be excluded it is getting exclude without giving full path.
Is it the limitation of EXCLUDED_SOURCE_FILE_NAMES?
If I gave FolderToBeExcluded/* it is working but file in FolderToBeExcluded's subfolders are not getting excluded.
The reason subfolders are not excluded is because of the /*. That tells it to look for files in FolderToBeExcluded. If you just give FolderToBeExcluded (no slash after) then it will exclude all files in that folder and all subfolders. At least that is what I found.
An important gotcha I ran into today is that you can't exclude files within a folder reference, but you can exclude an entire referenced folder.
When you add a folder to Xcode it will ask you if you want to create a group or create a folder reference. If you choose the second option, then you'll need to be aware that you can't exclude files within the folder, but you can exclude the entire folder.
For me it worked if I define the value of EXCLUDED_SOURCE_FILE_NAMES like this:
$(SRCROOT)/../FolderToBeExcluded/*.*
I am using Xcode 9.4.1
This seems to be the only solution:
Use groups without folders for every subfolder in excluded directory
Exclude ${PROJECT_DIR}/{Path to Excluded Folder}/* in EXCLUDED_SOURCE_FILE_NAMES settings
In the files step, I created a root folder where I would install the distributed files, however the .install4j folder still gets generated inside C:\Program Files.I want to know, how I could change its location for example to the custom root folder I created.
The .install4j folder is always created in the installation directory. You cannot move it to a different installation root.
Is it possible to create Eclipse-style folders (Project Folder, Package and so on) via the Terminal?
I once renamed an Eclipse package like this: mv oldname newname, and I noticed that after doing so, Eclipse no longer considered the folder a Package.
This possibly means that it is a matter of metadata, but I have so far been unsuccessful in locating the files containing the relevant information.
Eclipse does not provide anything to do this and it is not really possible manually.
For a project some information is stored in the .project file in the project folder. Depending on the type of project there may also be a .classpath file and there will also be data stored in the .metadata folder in the workspace and also in a .settings folder in the project.
All the file and folder names starting with . are considered to be hidden on Linux, Unix and Mac systems and are not shown by default. Use the -a flag of ls to see them.
What do you guys do, when you have huge project built with ant for instance, where the source folders are right bellow the root project folder, for building classpath from source files ?
Putting entire project as a source folder is nonsense.
Putting separate folders as source folders can't be done if they are part of the package hierarchy and the only thing I could think of, is to copy the source folders into a separate folder and add it then as source folder which is weird but I don't know how else to do it.
Having to duplicate sources just because of the eclipse way of making classpath and also because of somebody doing stupid project structure
It's really pain in the ass...because the ant scripts are written for this structure.
Even if it was just one folder, it's a problem anyway. There must be included the upper folder to the source classpath which means it is included with all the crap around and also it means that package explorer is flooded with the packages.
example:
Instead of /project/src/java/utils where we can put src folder into source classpath...
there is project/java/utils + lot of crap like /project/docs is in the project as well.
The trick is:
An Eclipse project root directory is defined by where the .project and .classpath are.
Two options here:
Those Eclipse project files are located in the workspace (and the 'project', the one with 'java/utils' inside, is not)
Then you can make a linked folder within the Eclipse project to reference 'project', calling that linked folder as 'src', using it as your source folder.
The ant script remains right where it originally is (in the 'project' directory, along with all the other sub-directories)
Those Eclipse project files are located directly within the 'project' directory (along with 'java' and 'docs': don't.
Delete that Eclipse project (not its content, only its definition, that will only remove the .eclipse and the .classpath), and recreate anywhere else.
Then go back to 1.
For each source folder in eclipse you can choose which subfolders of it you want to include or exclude as a source folder (you can also use patterns). If I understand correctly, in your situation you can add the project root folder as a source folder and include only those folders that contain source. So in your example only "java" would be included.
I've set up my FTP connection for my project, but when it uploads the file, it adds a directory named after the project to the uploads (which means it isn't going to the right folder).
i.e.
initial directory set to '/httpdocs';
no upload directory specified.
I upload a file from my local folder:
project name/library/script.php
I want it to go here:
FTP/httpdocs/library/script.php
but it's going here:
FTP/httpdocs/PROJECTNAME/library/script.php
Can anyone help me get this configured correctly?
Then you are making your project in netbeans one folder too high. The project should be created with the main folder being the root folder, not the folder that holds the root folder (the one with the name of the folder).
So, you need to recreate your project with the correct folder being the root folder, and you should be all set.
