Open the Properties view. Notice the "filter" tool button is enabled. Click on it and nothing happens. In the Task view, clicking on the "filter" tool button (which looks exactly the same as the one in the Properties view), brings up a dialog box. NOTES: RG (6/11/01 4:08:16 PM) Filter in the properties view is a toggle. When on it filters out "expert" properties. Create a test.usr class and select one of the people in the outline to test this out (salary is an expert property). SA (6/14/2001 3:01:42 PM) Not obvious what this does. As a user, it would be confusing given the same icon that does filtering in the Task view opens a dialog box. If we at least updated the tool tip to explain what it does (filters out expert properties).

To be looked at when more cycles available. Probably a good view of a first time user experience.
Reopen for investigation
Need to improve the icon too.
In Eclipse 2.1, the 'filter' button on the Properties view is now called 'Show Advanced Properties'.
There are currently no plans to work on this feature
