In Eclipse, hide files ending in tilde `~`
eclipse, emacs, hidden-files
Solution
In the package explorer toolbar, there should be an icon that makes a dropdown menu appear; in that menu, select "Filters…".
Edit: see this link for an example of the icon, denoted the 'Menu button'
Problem
Eclipse, by default, hides files that begin with `.` in the Package Explorer, Navigator, and other file views (e.g. `.classpath`, `.settings`, etc). Is it possible to hide files which end in `~` (e.g. `somefile.txt~`). Yes, these are Emacs backup files, created while using both Eclipse and Emacs on the same project.
