Hi, Mike. I hope that what I've done is what you had in mind.

Hi Stephen thanks for the response.

Based on your comments I've taken a new look at the issue and I think
there are 2 separate problems going on:

1. I think there is a bug with hidden resources and syncing incoming
changes. If I have a hidden folder with files in version control and
those files have incoming changes then if I update those files through
the synchronize view then the incoming changes do not disappear from the
synchronize view until I do a new Synchronize. I will file an issue for
this one.

2. I think my second issue is probably more specific to how the Maven
Eclipse plugin is using IResource.isHidden. Consider the following
project structure:

-- parentProject
   |-- pom.xml
   |-- childProject
   | |-- pom.xml

If "hide physically nested projects" is enabled Maven Eclipse will
create 2 eclipse projects (parentProject and childProject). In the
"parentProject" Maven Eclipse will mark the "childProject" folder as
hidden since everything in the childProject folder is available in the
childProject project.

Assuming all files are in version control, if I synchronize on the
parentProject then I will see all incoming and outgoing changes of
childProject. I will be able to update and commit these changes.
However, if I have a file not yet added to version control in
childProject that file will not show up in the synchronize view and may
cause me to miss files as I intend to synchronize to my version control.

If instead of synchronizing on parentProject I synchronize on both
projects then I will see all outgoing and incoming changes duplicated in
both projects and only see my new files in the childProject. This
method works but clutters the synchronize view and I don't believe it is
obvious to the user why since in their explorer view they aren't seeing
the same resources.

I think your default way of managing hidden resources in the synchronize
view may be appropriate for most some uses of IResource.isHidden.
However, in the Maven use case I think it would be more appropriate to
either:
a. Ignore IResource.ishidden all together in Synchronize and commit.
Showing all hidden resources.
b. Hide all resources that are hidden even if they are in version
control.

Would you consider a feature request to add a preference option that
would enable one of the 2 scenarios above? I think I would prefer b.
since that would allow synchronize view to better match the Project
Explorer and would be more intuitive. Basically allowing resources
shown in synchronize view to what is seen in the project explorers.

Thoughts?

Mike
