Hi All,

I have to create a view similar to Package Explorer. The difference is
that my view should show some files and hide other files depending on file
extension. Is it possible to be configured the Package Explorer in this
way or I should extend it? Which the extension point and class for Package
Explorer?

Regards,

John

If you add the extension to your plugin.xml (in this case
org.eclipse.ui.views), you can use "Find declaring extension point" to
find the extension point in the Search view, and then right click on it
and use "References" to get the list of extensions that reference this
extension point. Then you can find out the id and class that implements
the Package Explorer.

but you may or may not be able to use it (it might be internal).

Also, consider the common navigator in 3.2M5 ... it's specifically
designed to provide Resource Navigator-type view without being tied to
the IDE or JDT.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure where more information on the Common
Navigator is, but it's looking pretty good in 3.2M5 and the soon to be
out 3.2M6, and I've been told WTP is going to use it in there 3.2 based
offering ... but that's not confirmed.

Hi Paul,

I found that the built-in filter in Package Explorer works pretty well for
me. I just need a way how to set the filter of Package Explorer
programatically.

John
