[News.eclipse.technology.mylar] Re: Filters in PackageExplorer not Recog

[Mik Kersten <beatmik@xxxxxxx>]

Mylar should honor all Package Explorer filters.  Toggling the 
Referenced Libraries filter works for me, so this is either a bug, or a 
result of using it in the not-yet supported Hierarchical Layout.  If 
you're not able to toggle the Referenced Llibraries filter in the 
default Flat layout please do submit a bug report.

In my experience having Mylar applied to the Package Explorer usually 
removes the need for the Referenced Libraries filter, because you'll 
only end up seeing libraries those APIs that you repeatedly use.  The 
interest level of the ones you don't navigate to again will decay and 
they'll disappear from the view.

There is another interesting issue related to those filters: when you 
Apply Mylar to the Package Explorer, and it's not in Working Sets mode, 
I'm wondering if it should automatically remove the Working Set filter 
that's currently enabled (and put it back when you toggle it off again). 
 The issue is that if you navigate to something outside of your working 
set, you probably meant to do it.  If you didn't, then you can easily 
mark that thing as uninteresting (or wait for it to disappear).  This 
would also help with the problem that the Package Explorer will 
sometimes resolve libraries by looking up dependencies outside of the 
currently-selected working set, and fail to show them if that set is 
filtered out.
