Description Eugene Kuleshov CLA 2008-02-23 22:15:12 EST 
View menu in the Project Explorer view - Top Level Elements / "Working Sets" does not change presentation of the Project Explorer view. I would expect it to show working sets as root elements like Package Explorer view does.
Comment 1 Eugene Kuleshov CLA 2008-02-23 22:34:55 EST 
Apparently it only show working sets at the root only if there are active working sets selected. So there are major differences with the Package Explorer view:

- when no working sets selected, the Project Explorer shows all projects at the root. This does not allow to use working sets as a convenient project grouping
- when Project Explorer is set to use "window working set", but "window working set" have no working sets selected, the Project Explorer show nothing. It would be more useful to show all working sets and projects in such case (like it is done for projects when projects are shown at the root)

The above mentioned portion of this bug report is addressed by bug 212389.  This bug report will deal only with the issue of the non-window working set not working with working sets at the top level display.

The Project Explorer's viewer input expects either the workspace root or an
aggregate working set, as the root is never shown.  For the case of the window
working set, this is always an aggregate.  When a single working set is
selected, it's not an aggregate.  In that case, this fix wraps the input to the
tree.

This is included in the big patch for bug 212389, since it depends on that
code.
