Is there any way to remove binary references from "call hierarchy" (Ctrl-Alt-H) ?
Our project setup is such that for many members we have duplicated references (one reference from source file and one from the jar file with class compiled from that source file). The navigation is inconvenient and I wondering if any ways to fix that is available.
Call hierarchy can be limited in scope to a working set. You just need to set one up to exclude all your libraries.
If you click on the white down arrow in the top right of the Call Hierarchy window a popup menu will appear. Choose Search Scope/Working set and then select or set up the working set you want. A working set can include a source folder or a jar. Once set up your working sets will appear at the bottom of the Search Scope menu so you can access them quickly in future.
I've discovered another way to accomplish this, and since this question is one of the top results in google, I thought it would be good to add it as an answer.
In the Call Hierarchy view, one can click the 'View Menu' (the downward facing arrow) and select "Search In...". In the window that pops up, the user can un-check the options they want to exclude. For example, I only have 'Sources' and 'Required projects' checked.

My requirement: To hide specific file/folder from the project explorer.
Following the steps given on below link, i am able to successfully do so,
http://help.eclipse.org/luna/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.user%2Ftasks%2Ftasks-48b.htm
But, I want to hide them entirely from the processing, e.g. If I do a search for some word in *.java files, results show up from the hidden folder as well. Any way to exclude it from search results (or from entire processing of what eclipse looks for) ?
Resources marked as 'derived' are ignored by most things.
You can set the derived flag on the 'Resource' tab of the file or folder Properties.
You can use the IResource.setDerived method to set the flag programatically.
I have two laptops and on one of them in Eclipse I was able to add a type hierarchy that shows class members, etc. directly under the opened files (or whatever you call the tabs that are right about the red box in my image). I have no idea how to do this though, anyone have any suggestions?
Also, on a related note, when I do just open the type hierarchy it always requires that I open it given the context of the current opened .java file. On my other laptop it's sort of dynamic and allows me to explore the type hierarchy of whatever file I'm viewing. I want it all to work like how it is in Microsoft Visual Studio.
I think you mean the breadcrumb - Navigate > Show in Breadcrumb
I have the same set of files in N folders, one of them, say, blank.xhtml. The files contain somewhat similar information and it is becoming overwhelming to figure out which file comes from which folder every time I switch between the tabs. When I open one of them to edit and happen to open a file with the same name from another folder I get confused and more often than not end up editing the wrong file: nullifying my hard work. So I am wondering if there is a way to show the name of a containing folder in the tab like this G-06/blank.xhtml or G-07/blank.xhtml. I will be very very thankful to anybody who has pointers to how I can make this happen.
As an addition to the Maroun's answer there is an alternative solution.
It's not exactly what you want (full name in the tab's title), but may be useful sometimes.
In the "Project Explore" view (the same goes to "Navigator" view) click the "Link with Editor" button. That way, whenever you choose some file opened in the editor, it will be automatically selected/highlighted (see the picture) in the "Project Explorer" view.
Here is the picture:
Maybe this will be useful to you too.
If you hover the mouse over the tab containing the file name then a popup appears showing the full path. Not exactly what you wanted, but it should help. (This with Eclipse Neon.3 Release 4.6.3 on a Mac).
Not quite what you're looking for, but ctrl+shft+e will open the switch editor window that shows all the open editors with their filepaths. I use this shortcut for the same reason. I'll have multiple build.gradle files open from multiple projects and this helps pick the correct one
Is there a way in eclipse to stop markers from showing in the Markers view for files in a certain folder? I.e. I imported a Javascript library that I didn't write myself but it is going to be part of my project and I don't want to have to look at all the "TODO" and "FIXME" markers in those files and would just want to see my markers only... Is there a way to exclude certain folders or files form being scanned by the markers process?
Apparently, I was able to resolve this by adding the folders I wanted to exclude to the exclusion list under Project->Properties->Validation. (Click settings beside each validation, Add Exclude Group button, Add Rule button, select folder option, browse for relative folder)
You can configure the content of the Markers view (the one displaying errors and warning in source code) and the content of the Tasks view (the one displaying "TODO" and "FIXME") by clicking on the "small down arrow" in the top right of the view (near the minimize and maximize buttons) and then clicking on Configure Contents ... entry.
Hope this can help,
Manu
By selecting Configure Contents like Manu said, there is also the option to list the tasks for a specific working set, using the Scope area at the right.
That worked for me, and I'm not annoyed anymore by all Zend Framework #todo.
Hope this helped, Stéphane
I'm doing a node app and wanted to exclude my node modules folder. I found the only way to do this is to create a working set that excludes that directory and set the Task -> configure contents to that working set.
How to exclude a folder that is producing warnings/errors in an Eclipse project?
I've had some problems with searching in Xcode, what is the best way to find and locate a method or class within a certain project?
command-shift-O will bring up the "open quickly" box, which searches textually and symbolically.
Press ⇧+⌘+O to open the 'Open Quickly...' dialogue window.
From there you can type any symbol name or filename to quickly zoom around your project.
Unfortunately, it doesn't do wildcard or partial searching (much to my frustration) so you need to know the name (or at least the beginning of the name) for it to be much use.
You can use it to open system symbols or headers too, eg, just type UITableView to view the header for it.
If you know the name of the method or class, a really easy way is to type it in whatever document you are in, then hold command and double-click the text. XCode will jump directly to the definition of whatever you double-clicked (even if it is not part of the project).
Project Find with the type of search set to definitions works well.
If you are trying to find the definition of a class from where it's being used, you can right click over the class name and select "Go to definition"
This will take you to where the class/function is defined
Alternatively there's "Find in project"
Pressing ⇧+⌘+F will open up Project Find. Type in what you want to find, and then in the drop-down next to it select "In Project" and press "find."
Voila! It should group the results by file for you.
Look on the left bar, you have a smart folder called "Project Symbols." When you click on it, it will display all the symbols (eg. classes, methods, properties) available in your project. You can even search in this folder by entering a term in the box in the upper right corner.
