Hide empty folders and other files in Eclipse CDT

Question

In Eclipse CDT, how can the navigator and project view be filtered to hide empty folders and other undesirable file types?

The customize options seem to be a bit limited e.g. hide non-c content also hides makefiles which isn't helpful to me.

Is there a plug-in to add this functionality?

Answer 1

In the project explorer panel, click on the down arrow icon in the top left > customize view > flag 'Empty folders'.
