Description Axel RICHARD CLA 2014-09-05 09:32:21 EDT 
On linux systems, unvalid sysmlinks are not detected and displayed in the Package Explorer.

Steps :
1/ Create a simple Project (File > New Project > General > Project).
2/ From a shell, in your Project directory, create an unvalid symlink:
ln -s nada link_to_nada
3/ In the Package Explorer, the newly created unvalid symlink is not visible under the Project, even if all filters are deactivated.

I believe there is no reason to hide such symlinks.
