| Extending or Enhancing the Package Explorer? using Common Navigator? [message #323225] |

I would like to extend or enhance the functionality of the Package
Explorer to organize certain files into certain directorys or folders,
much like how the source folders (virtual?) show up in the root of a
java project, but are mapped to the actual folder in the workspace on
the project.
Ive been reading up on Common Navigator thinking it would help me out,
but I have been unlucky on finding the right information to help me
achieve this. I have been through Michael Elder's tutorials, but they
do not seem to help in the situation I am trying to achieve.
Any feedback or pointers on where to start looking at how to do this
would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks

thanks, ill look into that, let me try another example,
Say I have a Dynamic web project with a WebContent folder, and it
includes a variety of jsp files, html files, ... in the root of WebContent
I would like to have it display in the package/project explorer as:
Project
|-WebContent
|-HTML Files
| |-file1.html
| |-file2.html
|
|-JSP Files
|-file1.jsp
|-file2.jsp
|-...
|-...
but keep the files in the root of whereever they are ...
The DWP sorta does this with the Web App Libraries...
Thanks again

I would look at the source code of the WTP project to see how they do
it. They might use the links capability of resources to accomplish
this. As far as I know, you can't set multiple roots or anything like
that in the CommonNavigator. You can use filters, but that just
restricts what is shown, which is not what you want.
Using links with resources will work with all types of navigators/explorers.
HTH,
