While reading about bug 92818 (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=92818) it occured to me that the ability to quickly apply filters (like referenced libraries in the JDT) to edit a working set would allow better control over searches.
I'm not sure what this means. Could you please reopen if you have a clear example?
I was thinking of something like the filters dialog in the package explorer that allows you to hide things like 'libraries from external', '.* resources', etc. Buttons/menus in the 'edit working set' dialog that permit selecting/deselecting by such classifications would be useful. My favourite would be to deselect 'libraries from external' so that a search could be done without considering external sources.
This would have to be done on a per working set (type) basis. Ie: Java Working sets, Plug-in Working sets. I dont think it makes sense for resource working sets... punting to JDT for comment.
in 3.3 we imporved th JDT search page, where you can, additionally to working sets, define if you want to search in application libraries, JREs or sources. Would that be good enough? I don't think we should complicate the working set configuration dialog.
