EC request in "Save As... to existing file" by JSK on Aug 15, 2001:

Is there a way to have the Save As... dialog show the resources within
the projects, so you can select an existing file to overwrite?  If not,
I'd like to suggest adding this function.

Not critical for 2.0.
Anybody in the open source world interested?
Comment 3 Randy Giffen CLA 2002-08-08 15:34:55 EDT 
Reopen for investigation
Comment 4 Benjamin Muskalla CLA 2006-07-24 16:37:27 EDT 
Are there any news about this enhancement? If not, I could care about a patch. Just tell me.
Comment 5 Susan McCourt CLA 2006-07-24 17:11:46 EDT 
No news...as long as this remains a P5, it's not getting much attention.  A patch would probably help promote this one...

The problem with this issue is not the behavior itself. We would just need to pass an additional attribute to the ContainerContentProvider of ContainerSelectionGroup to show files (which would affect the getChildren method of ContainerContentProvider). The problem in my eyes is that it's a "Container" Selection group and not a resource selection group (which is very annoying because   the parent is called ResourceAndContainerGroup).

Susan, i would send you a pathc for the ContentProvide if you think it's ok. I would add a new method to show/hide file resources not the break the compatibility  and hide files by default.

to be honest, I wouldn't really have a feel for this until I was reviewing a patch or my head was otherwise in the code.  It sounds reasonable on the surface, since you are preserving the old behavior by default, but I have not investigated.

As per http://wiki.eclipse.org/Platform_UI/Bug_Triage_Change_2009

Good candidate for a hackathon IMO.
