Description vtcase

2010-06-14 11:33:58 EDT

Build Identifier:  20100218-1602

1. Had an existing local task repository
2- Repository had not been used in approx 2 months
3- I added a few tasks to the local repository
4- I moved one task between two lists
5- I observed that the eclipse "Package Explorer" and "Project Explorer" were displaying only a subset of the contained packages and files. Also observed that the hierarchies were displayed fully expanded
6- Restarting eclipse with the "-clean" option did not fix it
7- Reseting Defaults for the Java and Debug Perspectives did not fix it
8- Deleting workspace/.metalog/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources did not fix it
9- Fixed by moving the clearing and moving the Task Data Directory via the Preferences->Task->Advanced settings
10- Note that I may  had two web projects running in the debugger at the time I added the tasks. Also, my eclipse "Servers" project is managed under version control disappeared from the Project List

Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a couple of java projects
2. Create a couple of web projects
3. Start the web projects in the debugger
4. Add a few local tasks and move a task from one list to another
5. Stop the debugger
6. Refresh your projects and check for issues in Package Explorer

Sorry for the slow response. It sounds like you had a task active which causes filtering of navigation views to show only elements relevant to the active task. You can find more information on the Task-focused interface in this article: http://www.tasktop.com/mylyn/mylyn-2.0-part2.php

You can always de-active the active task by pressing Ctrl+Shift+F9 or using the button in the top left of the task editor. This will disable all filtering and make all elements in explorer views visible again. Alternatively, you can press the focus button in the toolbar of the any focused view to disable filtering for that view.
