Answer 1

Yes, you may place a custom filter on your project. In your project explorer view, there should be a white, downwards pointing arrow near the top of the panel by the Package Explorer tab. Click it, and go to Filters. From there, you can specify certain folder patterns you do not want detected by checking the box next to Name Filter Patterns. In this case, I would put the name of the 3rd party library.
