While I’m sure we all threw up the ‘Navigator’ view once in a while back in the pre-3.2 days of Eclipse, I can’t say that I’ve opened it up much anymore. With the working set support in the ‘Project Explorer’ view, the ‘Navigator’ is just way too disorganized for me to stand. The only time I ever pull it up nowadays is for a quick view of all the files in my projects (usually for the .* resources that are hidden by default by filters). This is all fine and dandy for us veterans but the presence of two views that seem to offer identical but not actually identical features is a nightmare for new users.
So, if you will, please join the discussion on bug 208693 and voice your opinion on the topic!
You wanna work on the common navigator? I’m trying to get people to help me with the bugs. Pick something and fix it :)
