How to create / from a directory appears in a project (cannot include it)?

I am using IDEA 12. I cannot include the /out directory in my project.

I tried Project Structure -> Modules -> MyModule -> Sources , and then click Exclude , but nothing happens. The /out directory is still excluded and red .

Is this a mistake or am I mistaken?

I cannot deselect Exclude to include the folder.

Looks like a specific Android bug, I created a new problem, I will vote:

  • IDEA-97776 The output is excluded from the project view regardless of the "excluded folders" and "exclude output paths" parameters

Exclude Output Paths on the Paths tab refers to the output path of the module . Project output specified in file | Project structure | Project | "Project compiler output" is always excluded. If you really need to enable it, you can do the following:

  • Go to the tab "Use module compilation path" on the "Contours" tab for all modules.
  • Select the Project element in the left list and clear the Project Compiler Output field.
  • Re-run the project.

After that, the "out" directory should become visible in the "Project View". However, I recommend that you manually exclude the output subdirectories of the module on the Sources tab. Otherwise, IDEA may rescan and re-output the output files generated by the compiler after each compilation, and this can lead to performance problems.
