[kepler-dev] eclipse excludes from build system

[David Welker]

Hi Aaron,

I realize that you have already solved this problem, but per your 
request I am documenting it:

Modifying Ptolemy Includes and Excludes
==============================

While it is not generally recommended except for people maintaining the 
core modules of Kepler it is possible to change the set of files from 
Kepler that are included and excluded and thus available for use by 
other modules. To do so, modify the contents of the following files:

   1. <kepler.modules>/build-area/build-settings/ptolemy-includes
   2. <kepler.modules>/build-area/build-settings/ptolemy-excludes

The ptolemy-includes file is processed first (that is, anything not 
listed matching a pattern in ptolemy-includes is excluded) and then 
ptolemy-excludes (which further eliminates particular files that 
survived implicit removal but match the patterns in ptolemy-excludes).

 Furthermore, keep in mind that such changes will also necessitate 
changes in files used in IDE generation, especially:

    * <kepler.modules>/build-area/ant-tasks/eclipse/PtolemyClasspath
