<p>To enable or disable filters, complete the following steps:<ol>
<li>Open the Select Common Navigator Filters window by selecting <uicontrol>Customize
View...</uicontrol> from the drop-down menu at the top right corner of the
view.</li>
<li>On the <uicontrol>Filters</uicontrol> tab, select the check boxes next
to the filters you want to enable. For example, when the <uicontrol>Closed
projects</uicontrol> filter is enabled, closed projects are not shown in
the Project Explorer view. Other filters can hide empty packages, non-java
files, and files with names ending in ".class".</li>
<li>On the Available Extensions and Filters tab, the filters work in the opposite
way: the selected check boxes describe the projects, folders, and files that
are shown in the Project Explorer view. For example, if you clear the checkbox
next to <uicontrol>J2EE Deployment Descriptors</uicontrol>, the deployment
descriptors are hidden from each project in the view.</li>
