Build Identifier: 20100917-0705 There should be a way to filter empty directories as a result of a filter. When a filter set has been defined that renders a directory empty, the directory should not show up in the package explorer view. This is different than filtering directories like '.svn' or maven's target, or filtering empty packages. It's more trying to clean up empty directories trees that show up as a result of filter rules. Context- We have a generic project in our workspace that uses filters to ignore non text based files(mp3s, jpgs, etc). It allows us to quickly edit our files in eclipse.

Create a project 2. create a folder in the project 3. add files 4. create a Resource filter on the folder to filter all the files 5. the files in the folder are gone, but the folder is not
