How can I make hidden files display in Eclipse Project explorer when using a RSE linked folder?

Question

So in my project i link a folder with Remote Systems Explorer. I have some hidden files I need to edit like .htaccess

What I tried

• removed .* filter from Project
• explorer windows checked "show hidden files" in RSE properties

Still doesn't display the hidden files for me

Any light to shed ?

Answer 1

Eclipse (Helios) shows hidden files in the "Navigator" view. You can add that via Window --> Show View --> Navigator.

Answer 2

In eclipse 2019-06 version, Project Explorer shows "View Menu" option (down arrow) at the right side. Click on it and then click on "Filter and Customization", then uncheck ".*resources" option in the "Pre-set filters" tab.

Answer 3

Eclipse -> Preferences -> Remote Systems -> Files: Check the "Show hidden files" Ok.
