How to hide .svn folders from file search in Eclipse

By default, whenever you do a file search in Eclipse, it'll search inside .svn folders too. This is obviously very irrititating!

Here's how to turn it off:

• Click on the root of your project in the Package Explorer window
• On the main manu, select Project / Properties / resource / Resource Filters
• Click Add..
• Set 'Filter Type' to 'Exclude all'
• Set 'Applies to' to 'Folders'
• Check 'All Children (recursive)' (this is essential!)
• Under File and Folder Attributes, type .svn. This should work for CVS folders too (type .cvs)
• Click OK
• Repeat for all projects in your workspace

Apparently installing subclipse (subversion plugin for eclipse) will also solve this problem but I haven't tried it myself.
