Eclipse showing garbage file names - eclipse

All of a sudden, my eclipse has started showing the garbage names as the title of different file panels. It was working fine previously the other day, the only thing that I did after that was changing the workspace folder once to open a certain project. I had changed that to default value again.
The file names are getting shown correctly in the project explorer.
I tried to fnd the solution online but was unable to find the related issue. I apologize if it's not the appropriate way or question to be asked here.

Eclipse file browser started displaying weird list of files out of nowhere

In every project folder of mine, there's this huge list of files that make no sense for being there. They only showed up today and I haven't done anything out of the ordinary to trigger this reaction. Can I make them go away??

Enterprise Architect not a valid name

I'm now using Enterprise Architect version 15. Recently, whenever I try to create a new project I got the error show that "Not a valid file name":
Although, my file name is not wrong, I've tried many difference names but it's useless. Now, I just able to open the projects which I've create before.
Can anyone help me how to fix this error.
I've just found the answer. That could be the program's fault.
The issue here isn't the way I named the project. It's because the folder where I decided the project located. The folder is named in Vietnamese (which is allowed in Windows) but I guess EA can't read these character when they get the project located link.
In conclusion, It's better for everyone to name not only the project but also the folder the project located in English to prevent this error
I had the same problem with trying to save the file image. I found that when I originally created the Diagram name I unknowingly pasted in as 2 lines.
Once I fixed it as one line it saved fine.

Eclipse JavaFX resource folder isn't showing folder/file but instead coming up as folder.file

I had a hard time searching for this problem because I can't figure out what search terms to use. I'm using Eclipse for JavaFX and I'm having an issue in this one project where my folders don't look right in package explorer. It's been giving me issues in my code saying it can't find folder/file1 because instead of having a folder that expands to show multiple files, instead I have four folders: folder.file1, folder.file2, folder.file3, etc.
I'm sure that's not very clear (which is why I'm having trouble searching it. So here's a few pictures.
What another project (in the same workspace!) looks like:
^^This is what I want (with subfolders under resources).
What I'm getting instead is:
And here is my folder structure to prove I'm not creating folders named with dots in the middle:
Is there some setting or something I can use to fix this? I had this issue early on with packages under the src folder but I was able to fix that through the build path. I cant figure out how to fix it now that it's not the source path.
Sorry if I'm asking a duplicate question, I just had a really hard time coming up with search terms for my problem.

Eclipse Ctrl+Shift+R not showing all files in the project

When i press Ctrl+Shift+R to open the Open Resource Dialog box, the filter box does not show most of the other resource files for example.. jsp, xml etc. it works fine with all the java files.. This is happening for only this particular java project. i have refreshed the project multiple times but still no-go. I have also rebuilt the index for eclipse under workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.jdt.core by deleting the index files but to no avail.
I am using eclipse Kepler version. Any help would be great..
Thanks All. Yes i had closed and opened the project many times. I have also not set any Resource filter exclusions. What i noticed was that opening any of these files for edit would set off an alert saying file was derived and would i like to edit? But on the properties for these file they were not ticked as derived but rather as Archived. So had to manually hunt for the parent folder which was making these files as derived. Also noticed that the Open Resource Dialog box has option for including Resource files "Show Derived Resources"...
This one helped me solve the problem
Eclipse treating all the files in a project as Derived
This is going to sound ridiculous...but maybe this'll help others too: make sure your file search string is correct! You may need to begin it with a wildcard (*).
I lost about 45 minutes on this as the result of user error.
I was looking for some local files named eRCaGuy_PPM_Writer.h and eRCaGuy_PPM_Writer.cpp (from my repo here). So, I pressed Ctrl + Shift + R and searched for ppm_writer, as shown here:
Nothing! It would not find those files! No matter what I did to the files it couldn't seem to find them. I tried all sorts of things. Then, I realized Eclipse doesn't have a fancy fuzzy search like Sublime Text 3, so I simply added an asterisk (*) to the front of the search, and voila! It works perfectly. Since the "PPM_Writer" part of those two file names is NOT at the beginning, I must start the search with a wildcard (*).
Now it works fine, as you can see here:
I've just added a note about this to my personal Eclipse setup and configuration instructions here: https://github.com/ElectricRCAircraftGuy/eRCaGuy_dotfiles/tree/master/eclipse (for my full documentation, see also the PDF and Google Drive links at the top of that page).

Flash Builder (ecplise) syntax coloring not working

A few weeks ago syntax coloring stopped working for the odd file. Or halfway down a file. Now its becomming increasingly the norm.
I've cleaned the project, pruned out a whole heap of closed projects, but it hasnt improved things.
What would Stack Overflow suggest?
I ran into this last week. In my case my main application mxml file stopped having it's code highlighted. Also I lost the ability to switch between source and code views for that file. It was as if it was just being recognized as a basic text file.
To get it working again I had to create a new mxml file, made it the default application, copy/paste all my code over into the new file, delete the original file, and then rename my new mxml file to match the file I just deleted. Then i went into my project properties and made sure my Run/Debug settings were still correct so i could launch/test the application again.
