In Eclipse, in the package explorer, can I find files by name?

Question

You know how in Eclipse's Preferences window (menu bar: Window --> Preferences), you have a hierarchy to browse, but you also have a text search field. And as you type into that search field, the hierarchy is filtered to show only entries matching what you typed?

I would love to see the same feature in the Package Explorer tab. I have 100s of files in my Package Explorer hierarchy. Oftentimes I just want to type in a partial name, and see only those matching entries.

Does this feature exist? Something related, that would accomplish the same goal? (search, not browse)?

Thanks

Answer 1

I'm not quite sure if this is what you're looking for... but try ctrl + shift + r

Answer 2

Ctrl+Shift+r

Type only partial name in the text field to find your file.

You can do the opposite of what you want to do. Click on the withe arrow on the right of the package explorer, select Filters... and type an expression with wildcards. Eclipse will not show the resources matching this pattern.

You can search for classes in your project with the shortcut Shift+Ctrl+T or for files in general with Shift+Ctrl+R. You can specify a pattern in the same way you can do for filters.
