Class ExcludedDirectories

java.lang.Object

org.ek9lang.core.ExcludedDirectories

public final class ExcludedDirectories
extends Object

Single source of truth for directory names that should be excluded from workspace file walks, watch registrations, and glob-based source discovery.

All callers that need to skip build outputs, VCS directories, or IDE caches should delegate here rather than maintaining their own exclusion sets.

Method Details

shouldSkip

public static boolean shouldSkip(String directoryName)

True when a directory with this name should be skipped during file walks. Returns true for names that start with . (hidden directories) or that appear in the built-in exclusion set.

Returns false for null or empty names (defensive — root path components can produce these).

asGlobExcludes

public static List<String> asGlobExcludes()

Derive glob exclude patterns suitable for use with Glob(List, List). For each excluded name X this produces both "X/" (root-level) and "**/X/**" (nested) so that OsSupport.getFilesRecursivelyFrom(File, Glob) skips files inside those directories.

Also includes ".*/**" and "**/.*/**" to catch all hidden directories (matching the startsWith(".") logic in shouldSkip(String)).
