I understand that Aptana is built from Eclipse. I tried searching for the Package Explorer to enable viewing of .htaccess files inside the project but I can\'t find the Pack
...geez, it took me a while to find that damn arrow :) Sell below:
I'm using Aptana 3 on a Kubuntu 11.10 machine. In my experience, I had to select the little down arrow from Aptana 3's Project Explorer, then choose > Customize View > Filters and uncheck both *.files and *.resources to show the .htaccess file.
Either one, by itself, would not display the .htaccess file.
For Aptana 2
In the project view, click the little down arrow in the top right hand corner, click on 'Filters' and in here you can tick which hidden files you want to view.
For Apatana 3
