Hi,
I started a new workspace, and a new project; I then imported a set of java example files into the source directory 'src', located under the project. ie examples->src-><bunch of java files here>. Next, I began to work with one of the example files, nothing special about that, I wasn't trying to do anything new. Then, not knowing quite what I had done (I must have done something), all of the .java files disappeared from view. And I haven't been able to restore them. I have no idea what switch or setting or what needs to be pressed or switched or removed or what in order to get Eclipse (Kepler) to show my source files again. I can't work with the files, I cannot compile them. Just a dead end. However the directory structure and the files still exist exactly where they should exist on my hard drive. If I try to re-import them I am told the files exist already. So ...
Yes I could start another workspace, and another project and import the files again, but that seems to miss the point. Eclipse should not be hiding source files at all imho (if people need to hide source files then they should do the appropriate refactoring on their project). And if Eclipse does want to hide source files, then it should be _easy_ to see what has been done, _easy_ to see why it has been done, and _easy_ to reverse. Simple things should be simple! They should not be impossible. May I suggest a 'Show ALL files' button, in red, on the main menu!
Thanks for help.
Regards
Goffredo

Goffredo,
Without knowing what you did, it's hard to tell you how to undo it. What
objects are showing as the root objects in your Package Explorer? Did
you look at all the menu items in the view menu of the package
explorer? If you right click on the perspective icon and invoke
"Reset" it might undo whatever you did to change how things are being
shown...

Goffredo,
Also, does this make you reconsider your original statements about all
the things that weren't easy enough?
