Description Hazhir Haghshenas CLA 2016-07-13 08:21:48 EDT 
Created attachment 263083 [details]
multiple records shown pointing to same exact file

Hi,
I have multi maven project like
om
  om-mod1
    om-sub-mod1
      a.file
    om-sub-mod2
  om-mod2
  ...

When i try to open a particular resource (ctrl+shift+r) i see multiple records pointing to the very same file. i.e. :

if i search for a.file in structure above it shows me 2 or 3 records like:
a.file om/om-mod1/om-sub-mod1
a.file om-mod1/om-sub-mod1
a.file om-submod1

The reason why this issue marked as major is that if i pick first or second options i open the file like i opened it from out-side of it's project and my package explorer jumps to folders under the parent project. some times even auto build isn't working if i try to modify this files but it doesn't happen often.

first i tried to file the same bug against STS but as per them this functionality is deep inside Eclipse and they can't fix it.
here is the link:

Hi, 

you can use one option in Open Resource View : 
 - Filter Duplicated Resources

It's available since Eclipse Mars. See https://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/news/4.5/M7/

Thanks a lot for the quick response,

You have just made my life much easier :-) i really appreciate it.
if i may ask, why this checkbox is not checked by default?

I don't know. As a regular user, I hope this option will checked by default in next major release.

Add CC Mickael Istria for a potential answer.

There is no good reason other than legacy ;) Can you please open an enhancement request to suggest applying this filter by default?
