Build Identifier: Helios Service Release 2, build ID 20110218-0911 I cannot get Eclipse to filter out files that end in tilde (essentially, the backup files that Emacs creates by default). I tried filtering "*~", as well as "*.txt~", but neither works. I can get other filters like "*.sh" and "*.gz" to work correctly. Tested both in a custom navigator and the standard plain-vanilla project navigator. My Eclipse install is based on Conclusion: something is weird in how files that end in "~" for some reason. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Edit a file that is inside an Eclipse workspace using Emacs, or make a copy of a file and name it foo.txt~ or similar. 2. Right-click on project in the project navigator, go to resource filters 3. Add a new filter: "Exclude All", "Files", pattern "*~" 4. Apply and close dialog 5. Refresh workspace 6. You still see the foo.txt~ file.
