Is there a way to disable the outline tree view for files in Eclipse?
I never use it (on purpose at least) and find it to be quite distracting. (I prefer ctrl + O.)
For the Java Package Explorer, there is an option for this in the Preferences:
Go to Preferences -> Java -> Appearance and un-check 'Show members in Package Explorer'.
Alternatively, most of Eclipse's different navigator views offer the ability to Filter what to display. Click on the small triangular "menu" symbol at the top of the view and select "Customize View", or "Filter", depending on the view. You are then presented with a menu where you call select what to show and what to hide.
This works with the Java Package Explorer, Project Explorer, the general Navigator and also with the PyDev Package Explorer View, and probably a few more. This is a bit more manual, but allows for a finer adjustment. (Options what to show and what to hide differ between the different views.)
The creator of PyDev commented on my bug report and this is how you do it:
Select the PyDev perspective and then the Package Explorer (if not already).
Press CTRL + F10
Click on Customize View.
Select PyDev: Nodes: All
Press OK.

Is it possible to edit the "New" submenu when I use the right-clik on a project in the Project Explorer ? "Customize perspective" settings don't seem to have any effect on it. In my Eclipse on Ubuntu I have directly the wizards that I want in this submenu, but in my Eclipse on Windows I have to click on "Other..." to find the right wizard. Thanks.
open eclipse, then go to Window menu, select Customize perspective...
a windows appears. it has for tabs.
Tool bar visiblity
Menu visiblity
Command Groups Availablity
Shortcuts
select Menu visiblity tab, it will shows all menus with tree view.
then expand tree view of File then do same for the New which is sub tree of File.
now select All of those project types that you want, then click Ok.
In the Project Explorer view of Eclipse Luna, there's an additional drop down for Java files which represents the class inside the file (the green C icon). It expands when I double click to open a class. I don't need this there. Is there a way to filter this out?
Uncheck Preferences / Java / Appearance / "Show members in Package Explorer" checkbox.
It affect both Package and Project explorer.
Preferences windows with that checkbox
It's possible if you use Package Explorer instead of Project Explorer: go to prefs, Java, Appearance and disable "Show members in Package Explorer".
You can disable various elements in the explorer tree via the View config toolbar button (small white triangle on the toolbar just below the Project Explorer tab); select Customize View... then the Content tab; there you can disable, for example, Java Elements. But doing so will hide all Java-related elements from the Project Explorer tree; if you want that, at that point you should just use the Navigator view instead of Project Explorer. Navigator is just a file-system view of the projects.
There is an option for this. Click to three dots on the right top corner in Project Explorer window, click to "Filters and Customisation", then click to "Content" tab. You will see like that things:
Uncheck "Java Elements" (PHP Elements for Eclipse PDT) then clik to OK button. Then you will see that dropdown triangle shit goes to the hell...
I am more familiar in Eclipse and need the IntelliJ equivalent. In Eclipse, I could open a java class, right click, show file in package explorer and it would highlight the file on the left. What is the IntelliJ equivalent.
You can highlight a file you have open in the editor in a number of views using the Select In...menu that can be opened using ALT-F1 when the editor window has the cursor.
The most usual ones (Project/Packages) are found under the menu opened by ALT-F1 and then right arrow.
You can also double click the circle/cross button ontop of the Project view
it will show you the current active file in the project structure
You can turn on Autoscroll from source in Project Tool Window so that the file/class to the left is scrolled to as soon as you open a file for edit.
If this option is on, IntelliJ IDEA automatically navigates from a file in the editor to the corresponding node (file, class, field, method, etc.) in the Project tool window.
Note that selecting this option makes the Scroll to Source button unavailable.
It is called "select in project view".
You'd better edit your keymap ! (alt+F1 right arrow is not very efficient...)
file > settings > keymap > select in project view : alt+E for example
You can press Alt-Home, it goes to the navigation bar.
Go to or select the package by pressing left arrow.
Press F4 now to see it in the project view.
When a file (.java for example) is open in Eclipse, how do I get the Package Explorer to show the file that I am working on?
There is a button in the Package Explorer view that looks like two yellow arrows pointed at left and right. The tooltip is "Link with Editor". Click that.
I've found that constantly syncing package explorer with editor causes package explorer view eventually to grow too long, especially with large projects. I've instead mapped a keyboard shortcut to sync package explorer with the editor. If you are using mylyn this is of course a smaller problem.
Key mappings are available at Window ⟶ Preferences ⟶ General ⟶ Keys ⟶ Show In (Show In Target Id: Package Explorer). Mine is Ctrl+Alt+⟵, be welcome to copy.
In Luna Command name has changed a little. Instead of Show In (Show In Target Id: Package Explorer) command is now Show In (Package Explorer).
From this site:
How to use Show In functionality from the popup menu
Press Alt+Shift+W while you’re in an editor. This pops up a menu with a number of choices. The choices will vary depending on what plugins you have installed. Select the option you want and press Enter.
The fastest way to select an option is to use the first letter of the option, eg. to go to the Package Explorer, press P (you may have to do this 2 or 3 times depending on how many other options start with P). The press Enter. You could also use the arrow keys.
Invoke "Show In" faster with a keyboard shortcut
If you frequently use one of the options (eg. Package Explorer), you can map a single keyboard shortcut to invoke it.
Go to Windows > Preferences > General > Keys.
Search for Show In. Eclipse will list a number of Show In options. In
our case we want Show In (Show In Target Id: Package Explorer).
Select the command you want, enter a key in Binding and you’re done.
Always link active source file with package explorer
If you like this feature, you can open the package editor and click on the double yellow arrows to always show the currently selected source file in the package explorer.
There is a double arrow icon at the top of the Package Explorer that toggles this behaviour. click on It
In your Eclipse .java file editor, right-click anywhere, then "Show In-> Package Explorer".
As shown:
As you can see, you can also open file in Navigator, Outline and so on with this.
Above project explorer window you will see the below image in the red circle , just clicked on this one mean when clicked any file in the project will showing you in project explorer.
If you want to show only one file you can
1 - Click right on the file .
2 - Select show-in .
3 - Select show in project explorer .
4 - Done.
The below image explain more about it .
By default, Eclipse won't show my .htaccess file that I maintain in my project. It just shows an empty folder in the Package Viewer tree. How can I get it to show up? No obvious preferences.
In the package explorer, in the upper right corner of the view, there is a little down arrow. Tool tip will say view menu. From that menu, select filters
From there, uncheck .* resources.
So Package Explorer -> View Menu -> Filters -> uncheck .* resources.
With Eclipse Kepler and OS X this is a bit different:
Package Explorer -> Customize View -> Filters -> uncheck .* resources
For Project Explorer View:
1. Click on arrow(View Menu) in right corner
2. Select Customize View... item from menu
3. Uncheck *.resources checkbox under Filters tab
4. Click OK

Eclipse Juno
Cory is correct
# If you're using Eclipse PDT, this is done by opening up the PHP explorer view
I just spent about half an hour looking for the little arrow, until I actually looked up what the 'PHP Explorer' view is. Here is a screenshot:
I'm using 64 bit Eclipse for PHP Devleopers
Version: Helios Service Release 2
It cam with RSE..
None of the above solutions worked for me... What I did was similar to scubabble's answer, but after clicking the down arrow (view menu) in the top of the RSE package explorer I had to mouseover "Preferences" and click on "Remote Systems"
I then opened the "Remote Systems" nav tree in the left of the preferences window that came u and went to "Files"
Underneath a list of File types is a checkbox that was unchecked: "Show hidden files"
CHECK IT!
1. From Package Explorer open the Filters... dialog:
2. Then uncheck .* resources option:
On Mac:
Eclipse -> Preferences -> Remote Systems -> Files -> click Show Hidden Files.
In your package explorer, pull down the menu and select "Filters ...". You can adjust what types of files are shown/hidden there.
Looking at my Red Hat Developer Studio (approximately Eclipse 3.2), I see that the top item in the list is ".* resources" and it is excluded by default.
Spring Tool Suite 4
Version: 4.9.0.RELEASE
Build Id: 202012132054
For Mac:
In my case, I wanted to see .htaccess files, but not all the other .* resources.
In Zend Studio for Eclipse, in PHP Explorer (not Remote System Explorer), click the downward facing arrow (next to the left/right arrows).
Choose Filters.
Uncheck .* resources
In the "Name filter patterns" area, type the filenames you want to ignore.
I used:
.svn, .cvs, .DS_Store, .buildpath, .project
If using Zend Studio, same arrow, go to RSE view, click on the downward facing arrow, hit preferences, and then check show hidden files.
That did the trick for me.
If you're using Eclipse PDT, this is done by opening up the PHP explorer view, then clicking the upside-down triangle in the top-right of that window. A context window appears, and the filters option is available there. Clicking the Filters menu option opens a new window, where .* files can be unchecked, thus allowing the editing of .htaccess files.
I searched forever for this, so I'm sorta answering my own question here. I'm sure someone else will have the same problem too, so I hope this helps someone else as well.
Eclipse shows hidden files in the "Navigator" view. You can add that via Window->Show View->Navigator.
Preferences -> Remote Systems -> Files -> Show hidden files
(make sure this is checked)
