1. Filter .svn folders in Eclipse Navigator

    To hide the .svn folders from the Eclipse Navigator there's no UI setting, you need to create a plugin. So here it is, a little plugin to hide .svn folders:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <?eclipse version="3.0"?>
    <plugin id="com.kwebble.ide.navigator.filter" name="Filter .svn folders" version="1.0">
        <extension point="org.eclipse.ui.ide.resourceFilters">
            <filter pattern=".svn" selected="true"/>
        </extension>
    </plugin>
    

    Put this in a com.kwebble.ide.navigator.filter folder under the Eclipse plugins folder.

    To filter files with different names adjust the pattern accordingly.
