Description Christian Pontesegger CLA 2012-09-05 04:07:30 EDT 
Currently the type filter (Prefs/Java/Appearance/Type Filters) accepts * and ? as wildcards. While this is sufficient to mask whole packages. it is almost impossible to mask

"com.sun.* except com.sun.javadoc"

It would be nice to have regexp support here.
