where is the place in Eclipse to add something to ignore list of SVN

Select project > Team > Synchronize with Repository.

Then right-click on file, select "Add to svn:ignore"

Or go to Window > Preferences > Team > Ignored Resources and add the patterns there.

Make sure you ignore the file type BEFORE commiting to repository since SVN doesn't allow you to ignore a committed file or type.

You can add them as svn properties using a command line client or the TeamSynchronizing menu via the "Add to svn:ignore" sub menu.

With a svn client :

svn propset svn:ignore .classpath .
svn propset svn:ignore .project .
svn propset svn:ignore .settings* .
svn propset svn:ignore target .
