From: Marco Qualizza <mqualizza@insurance-engine.com> Newsgroups: eclipse.tools Subject: Re: Problems with Tasks View... Date: Tue, 16 Oct 2001 09:03:38 -0400 Actually, here's a feature request to improve the filtering on tasks. Some options which I think would be useful: - the ability to specify packages (and package hierarchies) - the ability to specify classes (and class hierarchies) * - finer control on "warnings" -- ie/ what if I want to show all warnings except for deprecation warnings? and combine the above with: - the ability to specify "show always", "show only", "exclude" * I know that we can currently choose "show only selected resource", but I would love to be able to specify "show all resources, except for some.package.BrokenClass". I'd also love to be able to say "show problems that are either in the selected resource, or in class some.package.DoNotBreak"...
Ooops, missed adding this part of his post... I forgot to mention that I'd like to see this functionality extended to the Project level... so that I could choose to always, never or only see problems for specific projects...
To be looked at later. No cycles at the moment.
Reopen for investigation
In the Tasks Filter dialog currently, I can choose which types of tasks I want displayed (Java problem, build path problem, Java task, etc), and I can choose the set of resources whose tasks will be displayed (selected resource, any resource, any resource in same project, etc). I would like to choose different sets of tasks for the different resource sets. For example, when dealing with a large source tree, there may be only a few warnings in the current source file, but thousands of warnings in the source tree. If I display warnings in all resources, there are too many to be displayed or dealt with. Therefore I choose to display warnings in the current resource only. However, I would like to display all errors in the source tree, in case my changes to the current source file cause errors elsewhere. At the moment however, the only way to keep the warnings to a manageable number is to display them only for the current resource, and thus I can't see errors for other resources. If I could select "all items" for "current resource", plus "all items where severity is Error" in "any resource", then I would have the best of both choices.
We now support multiple filters in 3.2 M2
