Remove project .jars from project explorer view in Eclipse

The list of jars just takes up too much space. Can I collapse it or hide it?

In the Project Explorer :

  • Customize View
  • Check Libraries from external

enter image description here enter image description here

Or in the Package Explorer :

  • Uncheck the 'Show Referenced Libraries Node'
  • Add a filter to hide "*.jar" files

For Eclipse STS,

A quick work around to stop looking at your large list of jar files is to switch to Navigator view instead. For my purposes navigator works the same as project explorer. I tried adding a custom filter "*.jar" in project view however custom filters is unavailable in STS. Also Customize View... -> Filters tick "Libraries from external" is only for 3rd party jars, it doesn't work for custom jars in your project.

In Eclipse Luna:

  1. On the toolbar for the Project Explorer, click the Menu button 'view menu' (arrow) to open the drop-down menu of display options.
  2. Select Customize View...
  3. In the dialog box that opens, select the Filters tab and then select the checkboxes for the types of files that you want to hide.

For hiding *.jar select Libraries from external.

On Juno, see the "View menu" button on the left of the Project Explorer minimize button. Develop the menu and select the "Customize view" option. In the Filter tab, check the "Libraries from external" option. That's all.

Works for eclipse 3 and 4 in the project explorer and package explorer views.

Hey here is how it works:

  • Drop down on the ceiling -> Customize View... -> Filters tick "Libraries from external"
  • Right click on the project -> Properties -> Java Build Path -> Remove all jars -> Add EXTERNAL jars -> add all jars

There you go.

Another solution would be using the Package Explorer view.

In Eclipse3.5

  • Go to Configure Build Path. Select the Library Tab
  • Remove any library jar files you want to hide
  • Use Add External Jar option to add the Jar file back
  • select the filter "libraries from external" in "customize view".

Go the library Tab of Java Build Path, Add Variable (add a variable name and library folder location).

Once the variable is added, click on extend, you will see all the jars. Select all of them (or whatever is needed) and click ok. Exit the build path dialog box by clicking ok.

This will remove all the jars from your project view.

I believe that Eclipse 3.4.2 places jars under "Referenced Libraries" node which is collpasable. What version do you use?
