How to add Filters to Navigator view ? [message #169]

Hello Eclipsistas,

I'd like to be able to filter certain resources from my navigator view.
Using the navigator menu, I can select existing filters (*.class and .*
by default) but I can't find any place where I can define my own...
The help file (*) doesn't address this either, simply directing me to
select an existing filter..

* relevant help page
http://dev.eclipse.org/help21/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.p latform.doc.user/tasks/tasks-48b.htm

Sincerely,
Ivar

p.s. I realize that this forum has been labeled as the discussion forum
for plugin development, but this forum's name also suggests this is the
best place for generic workbench questions such as this.. perhaps a more
clearly labeled hierachy would be better ? eg:
eclipse.platform.plugins
eclipse.platform.workbench
etc..

The only way to do this currently is to write a plugin that defines a new
filter. Such a plugin could be just a plugin.xml file (you do not need
code). See the docs for the appropriate extension point.

Let's not open that can of worms again :) We'll just have to make do...

The appropriate extension point in this case being
org.eclipse.ui.resourceFilters.

Like Andrew writes, you can't define your own filters without writing code.
