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.
