<p>To enable or disable filters, open the Select
Common Navigator Filters window by clicking the <uicontrol>Filters</uicontrol> 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 <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".</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 <uicontrol>J2EE Deployment Descriptors</uicontrol>, the deployment
descriptors are hidden from each project in the view.</p>
