Question

How can I hide the output folders (/war/com.projname.EntryPoint/) in the /war/ folder in Eclipse’s Package Explorer?

I’ve tried setting the folders to ‘Derived’ but it doesn’t chage a thing.

Unfortunately, the “Customize view” menu doesn’t allow adding new filters. If the filter you need is not in the list, there is something else you can do:

• Right-click on the project in the Project Explorer view, choose “Properties”
• Expand “Resource”, choose “Resource Filters”
• Click “Add”, and choose the appropriate rule

If you want to hide files from a subset of your project files, you can right-click any directory of your project and choose properties for only that directory and its subdirectories.

That worked on Eclipse Helios Service Release 2.
