title: How to make IntellijIDEA ignore work-in-progress class files?
body: <p>When I'm working in IntellijIDEA how do I tell it to ignore a class file that may have problems and I want to leave dormant for a while?</p>
  
  <p>It will throw errors when I compile whatever class I am working on until I fix the first "dormant" class. </p>
  
  <p>I have tried adding my class to a bogus package but Intellij doesn't like that either because the path doesn't match.  </p>
