java and class files in same directory Follow
I am using an ant build which spits out the class files in the same directory as the source (.java) files. Hence, the project tab always shows these class files, parses them and shows them as duplicate when I am editing the java file in the editor.
Is there any way through which I can disable the parsing of these generated class files? I tried adding *.class in the Ignore files and folders field in the General Options dialog, but it also hides the java library class files.
Thanks.

Why don't you simply change the Ant build?

Then fix your Ant file. Building into your source tree is a classic build newbie mistake, and is just asking for headaches.

Thanks for the input. But I really cannot change the ant build scripts which have many dependencies and strewn across multiple src directories. And the main reason being that's how it's being used at my workplace by those who are not using IDEA.

Just make IDEA project match your build. I mean make output path (in Settings|Path)
equal to source folder. Don't forget to uncheck exclude output checkbox.

The source files are across many directories.
1/src, 2/src, etc. I can't possibly make the output path equal to all of those src directories, right?

I can see this just heading towards disaster..
That should not happen (hopefully!), as I am using the ant scripts to clean and compile.

That's usually the point people realize that this sort of thing might have been a bad idea.

You said should.

If each src folder represents a logical module, then you could set up
multiple modules, each with src and output pointing to the same dir:
module1
- module1.iml (the IDEA module file)
- src/out
module2
- module2.iml
- src/out
Use Settings -> Paths to add modules to your project.
If there are many modules, you can possibly generate the module files
automatically using some script. (They are XML files)

I had tried that, but there are cyclic dependencies between those modules (I guess that would indicate those folders are not separate logical modules).

Irida, the EAP version of IDEA, supports cyclical module dependencies,
if you are comfortable using an EAP version for development.
Oftentimes, cyclical dependencies can be corrected with refactoring.
Google for Acyclic Dependencies Principle and Dependency Inversion
Principle. The book Agile Software Development, Principles, Patterns,
and Practices by Robert C. Martin
(http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0135974445/) discusses this very
well.
IDEA has the Extract Interface (and also Extract Superclass if you make
the superclass abstract), which is quite useful to introduce a
dependency inversion. Simply extract the classes' interfaces into a
separate package (in a separate module), and have both concrete modules
depend on the abstract module with the interfaces. Takes some practice,
but it's a great tool for your toolbox.

Change your ant file itself maybe
