Menu
The Eclipse search dialog box allows you to search for files that contain a literal or a character pattern in the entire workspace, a set of projects, a specific project or folders selects in the package explorer view. Clicking on the Search menu and selecting Search or File or Java. Clicking Ctrl + H.
To view the project explorer, click on Window menu then, click on Show View and select Project Explorer. There is simpler way to open project explorer, when you are in the editor press alt + shift + w and select project explorer.
The Show View commands are activated by pressing Alt + Shift + Q , then the letter for the relevant view, eg. to navigate to the Package Explorer, press Alt + Shift + Q , P .
- [Voiceover] When we first installed Eclipse, and we launched it for the first time, do you remember the prompt that it asked you where you wanted to store your files? It automatically defaults to the C drive, to users, your username, and it creates a folder called Workspace. That's where your files are located.
You can do the opposite of what you want to do. Click on the white 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 types in your workspace with the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+T or for files in general with Ctrl+Shift+R. You can specify a pattern in the same way you can do for filters.
Ctrl+Shift+R
Type only partial name in the text field to find your file.
There is a small button with "left right arrows" (link with editor) near Package Explorer. Click that and you can use Ctrl+Shift+R with it. It will show you the current open file in Package Explorer.
I'm not quite sure if this is what you're looking for... but try ctrl + shift + r
As others have mentioned, ctrl + shift + r works nicely if you have thousands of files in your project.
Also, I would like to add the following: you can add additional folder into the existing project by the following sequence: File, new, folder. In the pop-up window, select Advanced, select Link to alternate location (Linked Folder), Browse...
To add new file, just do: File, new, source file
After you added the additional file or folder, then at the project root, hit F5 to refresh the project so that the new file and the new folder will be brought into the project.
And then you can use ctrl + shift + r to also find the newly added file of the newly added folders.
