Subclipse : Package explorer doesn't show packages, it shows file directory view :(

Question

I have a problem regarding Subclipse and the Eclipse Package Explorer. The svn update-progress itself works perfect, however when I restart Eclipse after having updated the sources with Subclipse, the Eclipse Package Explorer shows every file/directory as if it was a single package. Thus the view is confusing. Is this a known problem? Does anyone know a fix? Thanks in advance Kapila

If you mean it shows intermediate packages (e.g. org, org.apache, org.apache.junit etc.), you can restore the Eclipse filters to hide empty parent packages and hide .* resources (such as the .svn folders). It seems to be a feature of Subclipse that it messes with the filters sometimes.

To do so open the Filters... dialog by selecting the downwards-pointing triangle in the package explorer view.

Then ensure .* and/or .svn-base are selected. This will hide them from view.

In the same dialog you can select that Empty parent packages be hidden if not already.
