It would be great to add some filtering options in the graph view:

- symbolic names pattern to match
- symbolic names pattern to exclude
- hide fragments

Reproducible: Always

No committers are currently working on the visualizer, but I will try to review the patch for 3.8.  Thanks for the contribution.

Works well. Pushed the fix to master.

A couple suggestions if you would like to improve this feature further:
1) Run the filtering in a job with a small delay (see FilteredItemsSelectionDialog and other filters in the platform). That way rapid typing doesn't force multiple recomputations.
2) Provide a default .* at the beginning and/or end.  There may be some cases where the user wants to only search the beginning or end of the name, but the common case for searching plug-ins is a single keyword in the middle of the name (i.e. searching for 'pde' instead of 'org.eclipse.pde.*).
