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

[Stefan Langer <eclipse@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It seems I made a mistake. The hide referenced library filter only hides 
libraries that were added by specifiing a variable not the ones added 
with "Add Jar" in buildpath setup. So MyLar does honor the filters.
I wonder if I should report this as a bug on the JDT???

I'll have to try to let the referenced jars stay in... and see where 
this leads.

Thanks for the answer.

Regards
Stefan
