| <h1>Filtering in Java views</h1> |
| |
| <h2>Applying View Filters</h2> |
| |
| <p>All Java views allow to filter the displayed Java elements. The set of available filters depends on the view.</p> |
| |
| <p>To filter elements:</p> |
| <ol> |
| <li>On the view toolbar, click the <strong>Menu</strong> button and choose <strong>Filters...</strong>.</li> |
| <li>Select or clear the filters that you want to apply to the view (read <strong>Filter description</strong> to learn about the selected filter's functionality).</li> |
| <li>Optionally, you can select patterns for filtering the view: |
| <ul> |
| <li>Select the <strong>Name filter patterns</strong> checkbox at the top of the dialog.</li> |
| <li>In the text field below, specify the desired patterns (names matching one of the patterns will be hidden).</li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| </ol> |
| |
| <h2>Filtering Members</h2> |
| |
| <p>Several Java views (e.g. <strong>Outline</strong>, <strong>Package Explorer</strong>, <strong>Members</strong>) offer filtering of members (fields, types and methods). |
| The filters are available as toolbar buttons or as view menu items, depending on the view. There are |
| 3 member filters:</p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li><span class="control">Hide Fields</span>: when activated, this filter causes all fields to be removed from the view.</li> |
| <li><span class="control">Hide Static Fields and Methods</span>: when activated, this filter causes all static members to be removed from the view.</li> |
| <li><span class="control">Hide Non-Public Members</span>: when activated, this filter causes all non-public members to be removed from the view.</li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| Additionally, the <strong>Package Explorer</strong> view can display or hide all elements inside compilation units. |
| |
| <p>To show or hide members in the <strong>Package Explorer</strong> view, select or clear the <span class="control">Show members in Package Explorer</span> checkbox in the |
| <a class="command-link" href='javascript:executeCommand("org.eclipse.ui.window.preferences(preferencePageId=org.eclipse.jdt.ui.preferences.AppearancePreferencePage)")'> |
| <img src="PLUGINS_ROOT/org.eclipse.help/command_link.png" alt="Opens the Appearance preference page"> |
| <span class="control">Java > Appearance</span></a> preference page. |
