Excluding resources using Exclusion Pattern Selection
To exclude resources using Exclusion Pattern Selection:
1. Open an OpenEdge project.
2. Open the project properties page by doing one of the following:
*Selecting a project, and clicking ALT+ENTER.
*Right-clicking a project, and selecting Properties from the context menu.
3. Access the Excluded node by doing one of the following:
*Selecting Progress OpenEdge > Build > Source tab > Root node of the project.
*Selecting Progress OpenEdge > PROPATH > Root node of the project.
4. Select the Excluded node, and click Edit. The Exclusion Rules Wizard appears.
Note: The Edit option is enabled only when you select the Excluded node.
5. Click Add Pattern. The Add Exclusion Pattern appears.
6. In the Exclusion Pattern field, enter a file pattern for exclusion. The build looks for the resources that match the file pattern defined, and excludes them from the build. If you want to exclude all the resources of the same file extension, you can use * or ?. For example, to exclude resources of the same file extension as .cls, use the pattern: /SampleApp/openedge/tutorial/UI/*.cls.
7. Click OK to save your changes.
The resources excluded from the build appear in the Excluded node, and are ignored when your project is built.
