I am using Eclipse/Texlipse plugin and if I create a new project Texclipse
automatically creates a folder called "Search Paths". You are not possible to do
a right click on that folder to get to the properties etc. I was wondering whether it is
possible to somehow hide that folder as it just includes the paths for the latex compilers etc.
The "Search Paths" folder is only virtual and is not created by TeXlipse on the file system. Furthermore, it is solely shown in the "Project explorer" view. You can use Eclipse's "Navigator" view instead, which is similar to the "Project explorer".

I'm using Eclipse Kepler and I'm unable to 1) hide the target folder and 2) to hide the duplicate src folder in project explorer.
In previous versions it was possible to filter the folders with a regex, but in Kepler I don't see an option to enter a regex in Customize View->Filters.
I checked "Java output folders" and "Maven build folder" but they are still visible.
For the duplicate src folder:
I would like to only see the top one (the one with the flattened layout)
Here's my build path:
Got it. Apparently the default view in Kepler is "Project Explorer". Switching to "Package Explorer" reveals the old functionality with the familiar "Filters" dialog. There I entered target,src et voila...
Using Eclipse 4.3.1 (Kepler) on Ubuntu, I find that each time I exit and reenter Eclipse, I have to respecify my external source attachments. What is the key to making Eclipse remember them?
Open the Source Attachment Configuration dialog by clicking on the "Change Attached Source" button in the Class File Editor; or open the similar Java Source Attachment dialog by right-clicking on the containing jar in Package Explorer and selecting "Properties".
I've tried both.
In the dialog, click on the "External File" button and navigate to a jar containing sources, or click on the "External Folder" button and navigate to a directory containing .java files in subdirectories corresponding to the package hierarchy.
All these ways work until I quit Eclipse and come back in.
I have never used these parts of Eclipse; I'm using Maven to manage my dependencies and Maven will automatically attach sources - so take my answer with a grain of salt :-)
I'm not sure why Eclipse doesn't remember those settings. My current feeling is that those settings are temporary.
If you edit the source attachments in the project's properties (look for "Java Build Path"; there is a tab "Libraries"), then the changes should be saved in the file .classpath. Have a look in there.
Lastly, you can try to create a "User Library" (search for this term in the preferences dialog). Here, you can define a bundle of JARs which make up some library. After adding the code JAR, you get options to specify the source JAR.
Is there any way to limit the search for "Find all References" in Eclipse so that it ignores files in the target directory. This is not the same as the answer from this question: Limit “Find References” in Eclipse to only references from my code. That answer only works for text search. I want all references to a particular variable.
Maven Java project?
If the target folder is properly set as Default output folder in the project's properties > Java build path > Source you should be fine.
Source: just tested on Eclipse Indigo (I've tried Ctrl+Shift+G on both classes and variables); the search is limited to src/main and src/test.
Try:
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 NEW button
A dialog will pop up. Select Resource option in that. Click Next Button
Click on Select All Button. Deselect the target folder. Enter the name for this working set say "Exclude target folder".
Open the source file in editor. Keep cursor on a variable. Right on that variable
Go References->Working set->Exclude target folder
By this you can also exclude some files along with folders. One drawback in this is that you have to manually deselect each and every files and folders to exclude.
Right-click and select properties and then check the derived check-box. Done.
This works for the target directory and any other directories and files you want to exclude from searches and your normal workflow since the IDE will view these derived resources as resources that are not original data, and can be recreated from their source files.
In eclipse the Open Resource window (Hot keyed to Cmd+Shift+R) to open a file by typing its name seems to show *.pyc files despite the Navigator view correctly hiding them.
Is there anyway to set this up to ignore PYC files?
I have looked at the following links and it appears that pydev may require a src folder underneath the main eclipse folder. I do not have that structure however the full project has been marked as a 'source' folder in Pydev - PYTHONPATH under project properties.

I found the solution!
CMD+i on the project folder (or "right click" -> properties), then:
under "resources" -> "resources filters":
click "add"
choose "exclude all"
select "files and folders"
check "all children (recursive)"
type *.pyc in the text field at the bottom
ok
ok

It's assumed that I know where "Project settings" is, but I have no clue.
https://github.com/facebook/three20#readme says: "Finally, we need to tell your project where to find the Three20 headers. Open your "Project Settings" and go to the "Build" tab. Look for "Header Search Paths" and double-click it. Add the relative path from your project's directory to the "three20/Build/Products/three20" directory."
Where is project settings?
You can either:
Double-click the project name in the project tree. It's the root object with a blue icon, or
Select the project name in the project tree, control/right-click it and choose Get Info, or
Go to the Project menu and choose Edit Project Settings.
The project tree is that tree shown to the left of the Xcode window, the one that lists groups and files.
