In Aptana Studio 2.0 (which is actually Eclipse 3.5) I have a Rails project X that includes a symbolic link to a folder Y outside the project folder. Folder Y is big. It contains a lot of files and folders. Building the project and refresing the workspace takes a lot of time. Therefore I do not like Eclipse to take the contents of folder Y into account when building project X and when determining resources with the Open Resource command.
I am looking for a way to exclude the symbolic link from the build path. I tried excluding it from the Ruby Load Path of the project, but Aptana still builds the files in the excluded folder.
So my questions are:
- Does excluding folders from the build path actually work in Aptana?
- Is this an Aptana issue or an Eclipse issue?
- Is there a way to make Eclipse/Aptana not follow symbolic links?
Thanks for any help.
