How can I get Eclipse to show .* files?

Question

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

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

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!

Answer 3

On Mac: Eclipse -> Preferences -> Remote Systems -> Files -> click Show Hidden Files.

Answer 4

Eclipse shows hidden files in the "Navigator" view. You can add that via Window->Show View->Navigator.

Answer 5

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

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:
