Filter files in the package explorer [message #298188]

I tried to filter the files shown in the package explorer by extending the
org.eclipse.ui.ide.resourceFilters extension point. This was the addition
to the plugin.xml:
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.ide.resourceFilters">
<filter
pattern="*.java"
selected="true"/>
</extension>

but it has no affect. What am I doing wrong?

If you can see your filter in the resource perspective/navigator view,
and not in the package explorer, it might be that the package explorer
doesn't use that extension point.

If you can't see your filter in either package explorer or resource
navigator, there's still some problem with your extension.

yea, it filters the files in the resource perspective/navigator view, but
not in the package explorer. I found another extension point,
org.eclipse.jdt.ui.javaElementFilters and with that point I added a filter
to the list of filters in the package explorer, but its unselected by
default, even when I choose 'true' in the 'enabled' field. Should I
provide a class in the 'class' attribute that enables the filter?

That would be a bug and should be reported against JDT UI
(https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=JDT).
