Description Daniel Serodio CLA 2006-12-11 08:53:56 EST
The Java Perspective's Package Explorer has a "most recently used filters" feature that I miss in the J2EE Perspective's Project Explorer.

In Package Explorer, the most recently used filters show up in the view menu, avoiding the need to click in the "Filters..." option and finding the filter in the filters dialog.

I couldn't find the so-called "More recently used filters" in JDT Package Explorer? Is this still existing? If not, I'd like to close this bug as a WONTFIX.
Comment 3 Mickael Istria CLA 2014-04-10 13:21:56 EDT
@Daniel: do you think this bug is still relevant?
Comment 4 Andrey Loskutov CLA 2014-04-10 14:10:22 EDT
To see the effect you have first to select few filters from filter dialog, then next time you open the filter menu you will see the mru filters list. I use it ecery day to switch hidden files off/on.

Me too. Still a relevant feature request.

I'm putting a tentative target for 4.6.M7 as the patch is pending and doesn't look bad at first sight. However, I'm not knowledgeable enough in MRU to complete the review, so if some other committer can look at it, that'd be welcome.
In case we miss it for M7, it will be for 4.7.
Comment 8 Lars Vogel CLA 2016-04-25 15:10:19 EDT
Mass move to 4.6 RC1. We might push out more to 4.7.
Comment 9 Jan Rosczak CLA 2016-09-20 03:07:33 EDT
Is there anything I can do to get this into 4.7?
Comment 10 Mickael Istria CLA 2016-09-20 03:17:27 EDT
Pinging from time to time is a good way to make progress. I'll try to review this and merge it for 4.7.M3. However, as I'm not familiar with MRU and a bit anxious about the risk of breaking the navigator in an unexpected way (there are many workflows I'm not even aware of), I'll ask you many many things for a safe review...
Sorry in advance about that, and please take patience and keep hope, that can help ;)
Let's continue the more technical discussion on Gerrit.
