Eclipse :: Hide .svn files in Open Resource dialog

Question

Is it possible to hide .svn files in the Open Resource dialog (Ctrl + Shift + R) of Eclipse?

It\'s very annoying when you have hundreds of files...

Cheers.

Answer 1

The Subversive/Subclipse installer will do everything for you (ignore .svn as resource), plus you get SVN support...

Answer 2

What if the plugin isn't doing the work for you? Like in my situation, I have subclipse installed, but it's not hidding the files! I even uninstalled-reinstalled

Nevermind, this blog post solved the issue: http://blog.pengoworks.com/index.cfm/2009/4/20/Eclipse-showing-svnbase-files-in-Open-Resource-dialog

Answer 3

If you can not, for some reason, install a SVN plugin as suggested by gimpf, you can filter the list of the Open Resource dialog.

As indicated in this SO question, you have at the top-right corner of the "Open Resource" dialog box a small blue arrow.
Click it and "Select Working Set". Then create a new working set as required to include only what you need.

Not as practical as having a plugin do the work for you though ;)

Answer 4

Try the following:

Project > Properties > Resource > Resource Filters > Add

Select: Exclude All, Folders, All Children (recursive)

Name Matches: .svn

OK and Apply

Answer 5

As Doug indirectly pointed out, you must close and reopen the project in Eclipse after installing Subversive or Subclipse.
