File hiding in perspectives [message #331776] Mon, 22 September 2008 07:14 Go to next message

Hi All,

i'm here to ask you the following, since i haven't found any answer in
the documentation. I'm developing a plugin extension for eclipse 3.2 and
i have added some new perspectives. No problem with that except for the
fact that, when enabled, files with filename that start with a dot are
not hidden by default. Those files are not visible if, for example, i
activate the Java perspective. Can you tell me how to enable/disable
this behaviour programmatically?
Thanks in advance,

Massimiliano Fanciulli

What View is showing the files? Note that I am not asking about the
Perspective, but rather the View (for example, Navigator, Project
Explorer, Package Explorer, etc).

For reference, the only View that shows the . files is the Navigator
view (I think). Package Explorer and Project Explorer do NOT show those
files by default.

Hope this helps,
Eric

If you want the files hidden, you might want to consider using either
Project Explorer or Package Explorer views instead. Those views hide .*
files by default.
I think the Navigator view
(org.eclipse.ui.views.navigator.ResourceNavigator) can be configured
with a pattern filter to hide files, but you'd have to examine its API
to learn how to set them programatically.

Hope this helps,
Eric
