I'm using the org.eclipse.ui.dialogs.ContainerSelectionDialog to allow the user to select a folder (IContainer). However, if I initialize the dialog to use a root of the IWorkspaceRoot, I don't see hidden folders (e.g., .metadata) at this level.
The tool I'm writing is a logfile analyzer, so as it happens the .metadata directory is actually the one a user is most likely to want to select at this point, and I can't find any setting in the dialog to make it visible.
Any suggestions -- either in using the ContainerSelectionDialog for this, or using another dialog / mechanism if this isn't the right one. (Actually, it might be better in this case if the selection wasn't constrained to be in the workspace, as it's possible that the logfiles were generated on another system and transferred over, so they could be in C:\temp, the desktop, or just about anywhere ... I could live with forcing the user to copy files into the workspace but if I can remove that limitation it would be even better)
