| <h1 class="Head">Working sets</h1> |
| <p>Working sets group elements for display in views or for operations on a set of elements.</p> |
| <p>The navigation views use working sets to restrict the set of resources that are displayed. If a working set is |
| selected in the navigator, only resources, children of resources, and parents of resources contained in the working |
| set are shown. The problems view, tasks view and bookmarks view can all be filtered based on a working set via the |
| <b>Filters</b> view menu item. When using the search facility, you can also use working sets to restrict the set of |
| elements that are searched.</p> |
| <p>Different views provide different ways to specify a working set. The views in the Eclipse SDK use the <b>Window |
| Working Set</b> by default. The Window Working Set is initially empty. In order to modify the window working set you |
| need to enable the <b>Window Working Set</b> command group via <b>Window > Perspective > Customize |
| Perspective...</b>. You can then modify the window working set via <b>Window > Working Sets</b> menu or via |
| corresponding toolbar button. Views that support working sets use a working set selection dialog to manage existing |
| working sets and to create new working sets:</p> |
| <p>When you create a new working set you can choose from different types of working sets. You can create a resource |
| working set, a Java working set or a help working set.</p> |
| <p>If you create a new resource working set you will be able to select the working. The same wizard is used to edit |
| an existing working set. Different types of working sets provide different kinds of working set editing wizards.</p> |
| <p>Working sets may also be a part of a manual build workflow. With autobuild disabled the <b>Project > Build |
| Working Set</b> menu becomes enabled. From here you are able to selectively build working sets of your choosing.</p> |
| <div class="Note"> |
| <p><strong>Note:</strong> Newly created resources are not automatically included in the active working set. They |
| are implicitly included in a working set if they are children of an existing working set element. If you want to |
| include other resources after you have created them you have to explicitly add them to the working set.</p> |
