Filters are tools that can help focus your workspace on
the type of data that you are producing. Filters enable you to hide
code, files, or folders without deleting them. Filtered items remain
on the server, but are not displayed.
Filters are especially useful and effective for data-intensive
applications. In the Modeling perspective, filters are applied to
the
Project Explorer view and its offspring views.
The following list shows some of the available filters:
- Annotations
- Closed projects
- Empty packages
- Import declarations
- Inner class files
- Interaction contents
- Interfaces
- Java files
- Local types
- Non-Java elements
- Non-Java projects
- Package declarations
- Static fields and methods
- Topic diagram files
- UML elements
- UML model files
- UML profile files
- Visualizer diagram files
UML Elements filter
The UML Elements filter
is a specialized filter that allows you to specify certain types of
UML elements to hide. For example, you might filter the majority of
UML elements but still display a subset to continue modeling with,
or you might filter out elements that you do not work with. This option
is most useful when you work on large or design-intensive models.
You
can choose any, all, or no UML elements for the filter. See Customizing the UML Elements filter.
