Includes and Excludes

With the use of pattern matching wildcards, it may be necessary to specifically exclude files from the Target's Dependency list. In this way, a global included pattern can be used, but a specific list of files can be excluded.

Target Dependencies listed in the Target are by default Includes. To Exclude a file, set the “Dependency Type” attribute to "Exclude" from the Target Definition Detail Tab.

The same pattern matching rules that apply to Included files apply to Excluded files. The rule is that a file will be included if it matches to any dependency pattern match, but will be excluded if it matches to any of the exclude patterns.
