Any way to make JB2005/6 ignore directories in Search for Files?

I try a "search for files" in a project pulled from Subversion, and get
hits in both *.java, and *.java.svn-base (the latter are inside ".svn"
directories maintained by Subversion).
Is there a way to make JB ignore any directory called ".svn" in its
Search for Files? (Ignore meaning don't descend into that directory -
sort of like find's "-prune" option..)
PS If I were only searching a single file extension, of course, I can
use the "restrict to files called *.java" option, but since Java
searches often involve both .java and .properties files, I can't do that
in general..

You can filter to search with multiple file extension filters -- just use a
semicolon, comma, or space to separate them .
Is your active project under Subversion control when you do this? Search
will ignore directories or file with extensions which belong to the active
project VCS.

Excellent. Thanks.

Well, it was pulled via svn (the Tomcat sources, by the way), but I

wasn't aware that JB supports SVN. (Or perhaps there's a CC extension
for SVN? That would be great, too..)
Thanks again!

JB2005 added SVN support. It's been a little shakey, but it mostly

works. JB2006 SVN works even better. Bill did a good job!

Apparently it's not included in the Foundation version. I don't see it

in the Select Version Control System dialog - only CVS and None.

Do you know what level of JB2006 supports SVN? The Feature Matrix

actually makes no mention of Subversion at all : the "Supported Version
Control Systems" section mentions only CVS, ClearCase, StarTeam and VSS.
My eval copy of JB2006 Ent (3 days left!) shows Subversion in addition
to the above. Is this support official?

Search thru the team-development group, Shankar. There was a "bug" in

JB2005 that made the SVN support "not selectable" from the GUI in
Foundation, but you can twiddle your jpx.local file to enable it. It
was detailed in a posting from Bill Joy.
SVN is definitely supported in JB2006 Enterprise. And it should be in
Foundation, AFAIK. I think there's a typo in the feature matrix.
