How can I get Eclipse to show .* files?

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 obvious preferences.

Solution

  • 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

    filters menu

    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
