Hi!
I'm looking for a plugin that basically would be something like the
favourites list of a browser. I'm working on a set of files to resolve a
problem and i want to have them belonging to a favourite list. Then, if
i'm working on other problem i would have another list of files (which can
contain some of the other files of other problems) for it. These lists
would be like a tree where the nodes would be the titles and inside of
them the list of files for that problem.
Is there any plugin or functionality for eclipse that is similar to this?
Thanks in advance.
Raul

It's not quite what you're looking for (probably better), but you might
consider looking into Mylar. http://www.eclipse.org/mylar. Other than
that, I can't think of anything.
It would be relatively easy to build such a plug-in. How do you figure
files would be added to the favourite list? Would it require an explicit
action from the user (like a menu entry labeled "add to favourites")
more implicit based on use (which is what Mylar does, btw).

I checkd Mylar description but it's much more complex and complicated than
what i wanted.
I'm thinking about building this plugin, I was just checking if something
like that already existed. To answer your question, yes, the user would
have to add the file manually by for ex. clicking a "Add to task". This
tree that I'm thinking would allow the user to create/remove tasks,
add/remove files to task, commit files inside task, open files, etc.
But it's strange that something like this doesn't exist.. because in sw
companies you normally work on a problem and that implicates changing a
set of files (sometimes more than 50). And sometimes you work on several
problems at the same time. So how do people keep record of what they have
already changed and what belongs where (besides writting something inside
the files to identify them)?
Anyway, thanks for your answer.

That's the beauty of Mylar. It exposes you only to the things that you
actually care about based on what you're actually doing. As you stop
accessing files, they drop off the list (you can get them back).
There is a notion of working sets in Eclipse that you can use to group
together projects that are related. It's a little bigger that what you
need, but if--like me--you have numerous projects on the go, it can
really help you narrow down what you have to look at.
