I can't delete some working set, when I cleared up my projects working sets. The properties of this working set is as following. How can I delete it?
My eclipse version: Juno SR1 20120920-0800
You cannot delete it.
The "Other Projects" working set is a special working set. It exists to show you projects that are not explicitly inside a working set.
Why are you trying to delete it?
The only time you should care about it is if you have multiple working sets in your workspace. The "Other Projects" working set is very useful if you have Top-Level Elements->Working Sets selected in your package explorer (it's under that little triangle menu):
In this example, I've defined two working sets, Android and Collage to organize code in my workspace. Any projects not assigned to either of these working sets will appear under Other Projects so I can still see them (and possibly drag them to other working sets).
Working set can not be deleted, but you can hide it. Select the Other Projects and click right button and you will see the delete button.

Spec : Eclipse Neon (eclipse-jee-neon-R-win32-x86_64 ) ,Jdk1.8
Working set Icon is missing on Installing the Eclipse Neon.
Problem : All of the Projects are displayed irrespective of the Working set Assigned, also the icon for Selection Assign set is missing.
Is this a Generic Problem or something am i missing?
You're probably using the Project Explorer which manages working set a bit differently from Package Explorer (that you might be more used to). Additionally to selecting Top-Level Elements > Working Set, you have to choose the selected working set via the view menu > Select working sets....
I have a little problem and I hope someone can help me.
I'm using Eclipse, and i'm trying to add a Java Working Set folder to my Workspace.
The problem is that when I try to do it (right click, new, Java Working Set, and set the name) the first time works fine, but I can't see any change in the workspace (no folder appear), I have tryed to refresh the workspace but it doesn't work (and close and open Eclipse).
When I try to create it again, it says: "a working set with that name already exists", but I can't see it.
Can you help me please?
Working Sets are not folders, they are just a collection of objects.
You may be thinking about how Package Explorer displays projects. You can tell Package Explorer to show Working Sets by selecting 'Top Level Elements > Working Sets' in the view menu (click the small down pointing triangle at the top right of the view).
I have a lot of projects in my package view with a lot of resources(.java, .xml, .vm, .js, and so on) but I work only with several of them and the list could change with the time. I need a tool that allow me to filter quickly only selected files("my files") and back to a full projects list. I thought I can do that using working sets but I can't find a way to add and delete files from an existing working set.
Go to Window->Customize Perspective. In Command And Groups Availability tab enable Window Working Set option if not enabled. Click OK
Go to Window->Working Sets->Edit. A dialog will pop up. Click Edit button after selecting any working set.
I was using PyDEV without issue but recently when I create a project in Eclipse the project is not visible in the PyDev perspective but is visible in the Java perspective. My project is a python project. It seems that the perspectives are a little mixed up.
Is there a way to fix this?
My solution was:
Going to PyDev Package Explorer
Click View Menu button (arrow pointing down, top left area of the Package Explorer panel)
Top Level Elements
Click Projects
Maybe you added some filter which is hiding it in the PyDev package explorer?
I.e.: have you tried going to the PyDev package explorer filters (in PyDev package explorer > Ctrl+F10 > Customize View).
Or maybe you set the top-level to working sets and don't have a working set on PyDev? (i.e.: Ctrl+F10 > top level elements)
Or maybe you selected a working set which has nothing? (i.e.: Ctrl+F10 > select working set)
I know this is an old question, but I've had to deal with this specific problem in Eclipse 4 Luna, and I have an idea for what's wrong.
Use Package Explorer instead of PyDev Package Explorer.
The native Package Explorer, when in working set view, appears to automatically create and populate the working set "Other Projects." PyDev's explorer does not appear to do this, at least not on my default Luna installation. As well, PyDev's assignment of projects to working sets appears broken on Eclipse 4 Luna, so users of PyDev Package Explorer may have trouble finding their projects between views.
Enable Package Explorer:
- Window -> Show View -> Package Explorer
If Package Explorer not in menu:
Window -> Customize Perspective
Click the Menu Visibility tab.
Expand Window
Expand Show View
Find Package Explorer and put a check in it.
OK
Click Window then Show View, choose Package Explorer and rejoice.
I hope this helps at least one of you. I'm terribly new to Eclipse, and it is probably the single most unfriendly thing I've ever had to use. Good luck!
I had the same problem. Newly created projects did not show up. This is what brought me to this question. While looking at the answer provided by #alecor_Dev, which does not answer to the question, at least in my case, I managed to solve mine.
If you have a working set created and selected new projects will not show up. The easiest way to test is to go to:
PyDev Package Explore->View Menu button (pointing down)-> Deselect Working Set.
If you has a working set but more projects in that workspace more projects will show up.
If you want to keep the view clean you can go back to your working set but add the new project by editing the working set:
PyDev Package Explore->View Menu button (pointing down)-> Edit Active Woking Set.
And click on the project you want to add or remove.
I hope that this will help other with similar issues. While working set are a convenient way to declutter the view, can add to confusion.
I Suggest to #Fabio Zadrozny to add some visible way of marking that we are working inside a working set.
I hope that #medPhys-pl can confirm this although he moved to LiClipse. Obviously, there can be other causes that can create this kind of behaviour, but the initial description of the problem seems very similar to mine and I hope that it will solve other people's issues.
Eclipse currently shows the task tags (// TODO) from all open projects. I would be grateful if anyone could point out the preference, where I could restrict the scope of tasks displayed (e.g. only tasks from current project).
In Eclipse Helios (3.6) you can configure the scope.
Down arrow at the top right -> Configure Contents:
Select a configuration on the left (or create a new one) and on the right in the Scope section select "On any element in same project".
There should be a down arrow in the top-right with several options in it. For the old Eclipse the option you want is Filters... And for the newer Eclipse the option is now Configure Contents. At the top of the Configure Contents dialog is a scope selection with options you want, I think.. If not check preferences and search for tasks, or scope. It should be in there somewhere.
Close projects that you aren't working on. Tasks show for any part of the workspace, so remove projects that you arent working on by doing a close operation. (right click on the project in the project explorer and then "close project")
Configure Contents... can be used to filter to things like working sets (if you're not already using working sets, you should), but yet another way is to use Mylyn to filter out any UI elements not relevant for what you're currently working on.
In Eclipse 2019-06:
1- Open the Tasks window.
2- Click on the arrow pointing down ▽.
3- Click on Filters...
4- In the Configurations panel on the left select TODOs (or any configuration that you have saved).
5- Under Scope select On elements in selected projects
6- Click on Apply and Close
Now the task view will only show the tasks of the project where you are at the moment.
Simply close the projects you are not working on.
You can leave them in the workspace, too.
In Eclipse Juno 4.2.1, I found that it's possible to disable specific projects TODO tasks.
In the projects properties open:
Java Compiler > Task Tags
From that page check the option "Enable project specific settings" and remove the TODO entry from the list below, after that the TODO comments from that project won't be shown in Tasks.
You could also remove other tags from the list.
Filtering by working sets works fine, but I had to put the packages into a working set, rather than the whole project.
AFAIK the Eclipse task list is workspace-based and cannot really be filtered by default.
