I want eclipse to ignore all .class files when I search for a keyword in files. I don't want a particular directory to be excluded, instead I want to exclude all files of type .class
when you open the File Search in Eclipse, there is a text box for filename patterns. You can enter the patterns you DO want to include, like *.java, *.xml, etc. (each pattern separated by a comma) , and it will only search in files of that type.
EDIT:
To exclude a file type, place an exclamation mark in front of the pattern, like
!*.class, !*.svn
I managed to exclude files of a specific extension in eclipse using resource filters:
Right-click on the project in project explorer -> select properties
Expand the Resource heading on the left of the properties window and select Resource filters
Select the Add Filter button
In my scenario, I was ignoring tar.gz archives:
So in this example *.class could have been inputted rather than *.tar.gz to ignore all files with the class extension.
You can create a Working Set pointing it to your java source dir,
and select it on Open Resource (Ctrl+Shift R normally)
Open Resource window Image
menu Image
The working set will be remembered when you open it again.

When using editor like atom or sublime, when trying to open resource by hot key (e.g. ctrl-P in atom), the default behavior is to search in full path. For example, when I press ctrl-P and type controller/base_controller, I will see controller/base_controller.php in the search result.
However, in Eclipse, when I press ctrl-shift_R and type controller/base_controller I will get nothing. I will need to type base_controller (if the file name is not repeating much) or *controller/base_controller to have controller/base_controller.php in the search result.
When most OS prohibit using slash ('/') in file name, I would expect Eclipse should at least know it is a full path search when I input slash. Anyway, is there a way I can set the "open resource" search to be full path search by default in Eclipse IDE?
In Eclipse a full path starts with /.
So in your example, you have to type /controller/base_controller to match base_controller.php in the project controller.
Alternatively, you can select the project or folder and use the File Search (Ctrl+H) leaving the Containing text field empty, with a file pattern and choosing the selected project or folder as scope.
How to exclude files in log directory from every future search without having to type exclusions in manually.
Right click on the folder on the left (Project area with directories and files). Then select 'Mark Directory As...', then select 'Excluded'
You can also exclude individual files by their naming pattern, as documented here:
https://www.jetbrains.com/help/ruby/excluding-files-from-project.html
The project I'm working in uses Maven and its typical standar directory layout.
When I look for a resource with Eclipse 'Open Resource' I get these matches:
Where I get repeated matches.
There are only 2 XML files in filesystem.
The one under src/ and the one under target/.
For example, the path to the src/ file is:
maindev/common/utils/persistence/src/main/resources/com/ericsson/m2m/common/utils/persistence/impl/mybatis/custom/xml/
But 'Open Resource' indicates 3 matches for the same file with relative paths:
maindev/common/utils/persistence/src/...
common/utils/persistence/src/...
persistence/src/...
Is there a way in Eclipse to avoid those repeated matches?
Moreover, is there a way in Eclipse to indicate not to return resources for target/ directories?
NOTE: I tried Wojtek O. suggestion, but still getting matches:
You see multiple files because they logically are contained withing difference Eclipse projects. You could try to close some of those projects but that may as well result in compilation errors. If you wish to hide some files from the Open Resource... dialog you need to mark the folder containg those files as derived by right clicking on it in the Project Explorer and selecting Derived checkbox under Attributes section.
This is a really old thread, but in the newer Eclipse versions (Photon+) there's a filter option for resource search.
On the Open Resource dialog (Ctrl+Shift+R), click the drop-down on top "Enter resource name prefix..." and select "Filter Duplicated Resources".
If you're just looking for Java classes you can also use Open Type dialog (CTRL-Shift-T).
I was trying to move my workspace root around and did clear workspace mappings in p4v. What this did was clear every subfolder from the mappings. Then when I try to include the whole tree, it only includes the selected folder, since all the subfolders were cleared. Is there a way around this?
It may not list them, but if you are including the top folder "recursively" (i.e. follow the directory name with a slash and "..."), it includes all subdirectories without listing them explicitly.
To add the top directory in the "View Workspace Mappings as Tree" view, navigate to your depot or the highest-level directory you want to add. Right-click the directory and choose "Include Tree". Expand the tree views to verify that they are included.
If you're used to the "Workspace mapping as text", add the depot and client paths of the top-level directory that contains the subdirectories you want. Make sure the mappings are "recursive" and include all files and directories below by appending "..." after each side.
Ex:
Suppose you want to include dir1 and dir2, both of which reside under top_dir. Add this line to your workspace mapping:
//depot1/top_dir/... //myclient/top_dir/...
This will include //depot1/top_dir/dir1 and //depot1/top_dir/dir2, and all other files and directories under "top_dir".
I am attempting to strip out my Log.i Log.d etc code in eclipse. I have used them liberally. I can find them by control+h and using the File Search tab. Once I can filter the results to a certain package I plan on doing a replace with a blank string.
I check the Regular Expression checkbox.
In the Containing text: field I use Log\..*;
This gets every single Log line of code in the workspace (At least I think workspace, because there is currently 1 project in the workspace)
How can I get this search to only search within a certain package (ie com.example.so.is.super.cool)
I assume this is in the File name patterns field and I have attempted:
.*super.*
*super*
super
Please let me know if there is a pattern I can enter in File name patterns that narrows the search down for me.
Here's how:
Select the package in Package Explorer
On the Search > File Search panel: Specify regular expression, set Scope to "Selected resources"
Press Search
