how to prevent eclipse from showing svn changes for some files

Note: T开发者_Go百科his is not about ignoring files or removing them from version control. All files in the project should stay controlled.

Some files are supposed to be changed by individual developers to fit their environment. So while they are in the VCS, I would like eclipse to ignore outgoing changes for them and stop displaying the asterisk/snowflake icon in the bottom left corner of the packages and projects above the files.

Is there a way of finetuning eclipse or the VCS plugin like that?

I am using subclipse and mercurialEclipse.

Thank you

The common solution to this is to create versioned config template, which includes via some means local configs ignored by VCS.

See How to version control config files pragmatically?, Committing Machine Specific Configuration Files etc.

This solution could be problematic if Eclipse configuration files didn't support includeing other files, as seemingly is the case.
