Hiding project name in CommonNavigator [message #550101]

Is there a way of hiding root workspace project name when using CommonNavigator Framework?
I create one project called "Reports" and set its absolute location on drive c:\ using code below:

 
IProject project = ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace().getRoot().getProject("Reports") ;
if (!project.exists()) {
IProjectDescription desc = workspace.newProjectDescription("Reports");
desc.setLocation(new Path('c:\something'));
project.create(desc, null);
}

The Common Navigator shows main folder (project) "Reports" and under it all folders contained by the location I set using 'desc' object ('c:\something') which looks something like this:

Reports

Local
- Blah1
Report
- Blah3
Search
- Blah4

That is all correct, but my question is whether I can somehow hide the very first node which is "Reports" that is not really a folder but just project name.

Yes you can do this.

I'm not sure if you are using the navigator content extensions from org.eclipse.ui.navigator.resources or not.

If you are using them, then you will need to create a new navigator content extension that overrides the NCE that provides the resources. You can set the trigger point to the be IWOrkspaceRoot and then have its associated content provider provide the children of your project.

If you are not using the o.e.ui.navigator.resources, then you don't need to do the override.
