Description Mik Kersten

If a developer is doing code generation that's creating tens of thousands of files, and those files are not being marked as derived resources, and they are not able to create a resource exclusion pattern (eg, the files land in the same packages as non-generated files), the context can get polluted.  Let's add the following option to Preferences/Tasks/Resources:
* Enable file change monitoring (Recommended, newly created and modified files will get added to the context)

I think that we should also remove the "Exclude files modified when the task is not active" preference as we don't have a use case for turning that off, beyond working around bugs.

Patch committed to e_3_6_m_3_4_x branch and head. The resource preference page has a new option to disable resource monitoring and the check box for controlling file stamp based monitoring has been removed.
