<h1 class="topictitle1">Filters in the Project Explorer view</h1>
<div><p>You can filter the Project Explorer view to hide projects, folders,
or files that you don't want to see.</p>
<p>To enable or disable filters, open the Select Common Navigator Filters
window by clicking the <span class="uicontrol">Filters</span> button from the drop-down
menu at the top right corner of the view. This window lists the available
filters.</p>
<p>On the Select Common Navigator Filters tab, select the check boxes next
to the filters you want to enable. For example, when the <span class="uicontrol">Closed
projects</span> 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".</p>
<p>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 check
box next to <span class="uicontrol">J2EE Deployment Descriptors</span>, the deployment
descriptors are hidden from each project in the view.</p>
