Bug 76845

Description John P. A. Verhaeg 2004-10-22 14:29:51 EDT

I like using working sets to filter the projects that I see in my workspace at 
one time.  However, I'm continually annoyed with the fact that every time I 
add a new project, I have to manually edit each working set to which that 
project should apply.  Plus, often it takes me a bit to realize why a project 
I know I just added isn't appearing in my workspace (since I've forgotten to 
update the active working set).

Please add the ability to specify name patterns in working set definitions 
(note, multiple patterns per working set), implemented such that these working 
sets will automatically get updated to contain new projects added to the 
workspace that match these patterns.  For example, given the following set of 
projects:

com.companyA.projectA.subProjectA
com.companyA.projectA.subProjectB
com.companyA.projectB.subProjectA
com.companyA.projectB.subProjectB
com.companyA.projectC.subProjectB
com.companyA.projectD.subProjectA
com.companyB.projectA.subProjectA
com.companyB.projectA.subProjectB
com.companyB.projectB.subProjectA

A pattern of "com.companyA.*.subProjectA.*" would result in the following 
projects being included in a working set:

com.companyA.projectA.subProjectA
com.companyA.projectB.subProjectA
com.companyA.projectD.subProjectA
