Build Identifier: 1. Create Tigerstripe project with Entity 2. Create annotation for the Entity In Tigerstripe explorer there are no annotations storage files. In Preferences/Tigerstripe/Explorer checkbox 'Hide Annotations Storage Files' is not checked Reproducible: Always
Now we have two separate filters for annotations filters. The first filter is managed from Preferenses -> Tigerstripe -> Explorer - Hide 'annotations storage' files checkbox. And the second filter is managed from Tigerstripe Explorer menu: Customize view -> Filters - 'Tigerstripe Annotations Files'. To see annotation files in Tigerstripe Explorer - the two annotation filters must be disabled. From my point of view, to solve the problem, we should remove the first filter, because the second is more general solution for elements filtering.
Hi Anton, I agree. Let's remove the option under the preference page. The proper way of filtering in Eclipse is via the view's filter dialog as you mentioned. Now, I noticed something else that's a bit odd. If you click on Tigerstripe's view menu > Customize View...> the dialog that pops up has both of these entries: 'Annotations' and 'Tigerstripe Annotations Files'. Where does 'Annotations' come from? And what does it filter out exactly? Can you please also disable the 'Tigerstripe annotation files' filter by default? In other words, I think annotation files *should* show up by default in Tigerstripe Explorer. I've seen most users who interact with annotations, opening the navigator view in order to see if their annotation applied properly.
Annotations filtering option removed from preferences. Now 'Tigerstripe annotation files' filter is disabled by default (to check it you need to start from clean workspace). 'Annotations' filter is defined in JDT (org.eclipse.jdt.java.ui.filters.HideAnnotations) and filters out java annotations.
Verified. Closing issue
