I wonder if it would be possible to hide separate modules that are already part of an EAR , from the top level of the project explorer view?

Currently, when I open an EAR project in MyEclipse (7.0m2) using the project explorer, it neatly groups any dependent modules beneath the main EAR node. E.g.:

my_ear_project
   -> Deployment Descriptor: ear
      -> Modules
         -> web_module1
         -> web_module2
         -> ejb_module

However, at the same time all 3 modules are still shown as individual projects at the top level. E.g:

my_ear_project
some_other_project
web_module1
web_module2
yet_some_other_project
ejb_module

Since I’m trying to reduce the clutter in my workspace a little bit, I’d like web_module1, web_module2 and ejb_module to only show up beneath the “my_ear_project” project and not at the top level. The project explorer view already offers filters for a lot of stuff, so it seems that you ‘just’ need to add a filter for ‘linked modules’ orso.

Thanks a lot in advance for looking into this.

The filtering that you are looking for is not supported by MyEclipse at the moment. I’ll have to make a note of this as a feature request.

Thanks a lot, I will be looking forward to it. B.t.w. on a related note, the grouping of modules under the ear project is a new feature. I just discovered it, but when I went back to MyEclipse 6 I couldn’t find it anymore.

I did discover some bugs, like my EJB module getting named “Project” and some files being called “file” instead of their actual names. I’ll report these separately in the bug forum though.

You can report this on the Bug forum. Thank you.
