Re: [mylyn-dev] Filtering files from Project Explorer

[Sam Davis <sam.davis@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ivens,

This filtering happens on the main thread. AbstractTreeViewer.getFilteredChildren(Object)
 indirectly calls InterestFilter.isInteresting(IInteractionElement). Note that if it returns false for an element, the filter may not look at any children of that element, so it may never be called with a particular element if that element's parent is not interesting.

Hi,

I was studying how Mylyn filters folders and classes from Project Explorer.

As far as I understood, folders and classes are filtered from Project Explorer in two cases:

• When the user re-active a task
• suddenly, during interactions between the user and the files.

I would like to know about the second case.

I have been trying to figure out where the filtering code is.

I have debugged

• DegreeOfInterest.java
• InteractionContext.java
• InterestFilter.java
  

but they don't seem to be used when a file is about to be filtered from Project Explorer View.

Is there any thread which keeps looking for negative interest files in order to hide them from the user's view?

I appreciate any help.

Thank you in advance.

Ivens
