I love WWS. I'm +1 for keeping it hidden, but WWS is something that we should document on the Eclipse Tips & Tricks.
Brian.
Let's start with http://help.eclipse.org/neon/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.user%2Fconcepts%2Fcworkset.htmOut of the box most views use the WWS
by default, which allows to quickly switch the working set for all views
in a window. In previous releases there were toolbar buttons that made
it easy to tweak the WWS. Those are now hidden by default, but can be made
visible again via Window > Perspective > Customize Perspective...As I said before, I'm also not using
WWSs and I doubt many people do. So, might be time to retire them if no
one objects here.DaniFrom:

[ide-dev] Working sets (WAS: Re: Java IDEs comparison)Sent by:
ui-best-practices-working-group-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx I have to admit, I'm also curious. My usage of working
sets is exactly like yours. I'd suggest we do some code archeology and
try to figure out what use-case window working sets (and working sets in
general) were intended to support. If the main use-case we care about is
the adding-structure to the package-explorer use-case that you and I seem
to use them for then we could probably brainstorm a much more efficient
UI that addresses that same use-cases.On Tue, Sep 13, 2016 at 12:52 PM Doug Schaefer <dschaefer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

some hierarchy to the projects I have open in my workspace (I have over
400 at the moment) and really only use it in the Project/Package Explorer
and to scope Searches. They’re not very easy to set up though if that’s
all you wanted.Doug.From: <ide-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx>

I agree regarding Window Working Sets - I never use them. But in all my
workspaces I use working sets, to e.g. easily switch to or search in documentation,
which is a working set in my workspaces.

3. Working sets, one of most powerfull thing in eclipse isn’t widely supported
across projects, examples: 3.1. “Window Working Set” entry sometimes isn’t available in fast view
menu (Platform views), sometimes is (JDT school based views) 3.2. Working sets types not always available between views, for example
still is not possible to import existing project into mylyn working set
directly
The user story that Working Sets aims to address, isn't it better served
with different workspaces and/or nested projects?
