Hi all I am developing a plugin where i m creating project through my own wizard. I have used javaElementFilters to hide my file named device-configs.xml. It only works with eclipse helios sdk versions.

Can anyone suggest me better way to hide file? Or other extension point that can work in all eclipse versions of 3.6 & also in MyEclipse also?

  1. Make sure that you have Package Explorer opened

  2. Select View Menu on the top of the Package Explorer view Package Explorer View Menu

  3. Select filters Filters

  4. Enter your pattern and click OK

Filename pattern

Files should be hidden.

Right click on the project, then go Properties, then Resource > Resource Filters and add a exclude filter.

  • Thanks for the help. I found another way to hide the file which works for me. – Rj71439 Mar 11 '11 at 05:15
  • I just have to use the api of IFile to hide the file from eclipse. This api will only hide the file in eclipse but it wont affect the properties of file in file system. – Rj71439 Mar 11 '11 at 09:06

The javaElementFilters work only in the Views supplied by JDT and it should work in all the versions. What do you mean by "only works with eclipse helios sdk versions"?

  • The javaelementfilter didnt work in the eclipse 3.6 JavaEE SR1 version. Still i have found another way to hide the file. But this method will hide it from eclipse as whole. The file will not be visible in any of the views of eclipse. – Rj71439 Mar 11 '11 at 05:12
