I am trying to run elasticsearch source code in eclipse.  
But I want to exclude x-pack in the compilation process.  
I am just getting started with elasticsearch open source, so any help from you guys will be appreciated.  
Thank you.

Any suggestions how to achieve this.  
I tried commenting out the line, **addSubProjects(‘’, new File(rootProject.projectDir, ‘x-pack’))**  
in **setings.gradle** but it gave me the following error:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

\*\*\* Where:\*\*  
**Build file 'C:\Users\mkumaru\Desktop\elasticsearch-master\elasticsearch-master\build.gradle' line: 275**

\*\*\* What went wrong:\*\*  
**A problem occurred configuring root project 'elasticsearch-master'.**  
**\> Project :x-pack:test:feature-aware not found.**
