I am trying to put all the projects in the combo, but I get "External Plugin Libraries" as shown in the picture below. How am I getting this as project which I don't have. How do I get rid of it?

A:
As mentioned in the FAQ page "How do I find a particular class from an Eclipse plug-in?",
External Plug-in Libraries is a project automatically created in your workspace, which will:
- have all the Eclipse plug-ins you selected on its build path,
- ensure that they will be consulted by the Java search engine when searching for and opening Java types.
That means you have the RCP edition where a workspace is already set up so that all Eclipse plug-ins are found by the Java search engine.
The manual way to do this is:
- Activate the 'Plug-ins' view by going to Window > Show View > Other > PDE > Plug-ins.
- Select all plug-ins in the view.
- From the context menu, select Add to Java Search.
As of Eclipse 3.4 (Ganymede) the External Plug-in Libraries Java project is hidden by default (see bug 194694).
Use the Java element filters dialog to include the External Plug-in Libraries project in the Package Explorer view.

Is there any way to filter this out as this is a binary project?

@javaguy: maybe by creating a new workspace in which you reference only your project, not adding any PDE plugin to the Java search.
