Remove project .jars from project explorer view in Eclipse

Question

The list of jars just takes up too much space. Can I collapse it or hide it?

Answer 1

Works for eclipse 3 and 4 in the project explorer and package explorer views.

Hey here is how it works:

• Drop down on the ceiling -> Customize View... -> Filters tick "Libraries from external"
• Right click on the project -> Properties -> Java Build Path -> Remove all jars -> Add EXTERNAL jars -> add all jars

There you go.
