Description Andrew Taylor CLA 2007-02-15 14:27:44 EST 
I notice that many classes from .jars (without attached source) show up in various views.  Most notibly the hierarchy and type views show classes for which there are no (known) source files.  Perhaps this is due to me doing something unconventional (referencing project jars instead of projects for classloader/resource reasons)... but I'm sure others are running into this also.  Here's a couple screen caps showing the issue...

It would be nice to filter compiled classes, either on a view-by-view basis, or globally in the configuration.

Thanks for your contribution.  I enjoy using eclipse more and more each day.

What you currently do it to create a working set that only contains the source folders, filter the view or even the window by this working set.

Should say: What you currently can do is to....

Yeah, ok, but a nice view->filters->show only classes with source would be much easier.  Also, the working set only filters for hierarchy, yes?  What about the unattached jar classes showing in open type chooser (ctrl+shift+t)? Is it possible to filter those with a working set?  If so, maybe an automatically generated 'Only Source Files' working set is all that is needed.
