Selecting working sets

You can select projects or components to group in working sets in the workspace.

Before you begin

You must have a project or several projects created within your workspace.

About this task

Working sets group elements for display in views or for operations on a set of elements. The navigation views use working sets to restrict the set of resources that are displayed. If a working set is selected in the navigator, only resources, children of resources, and parents of resources that are contained in the working set are shown.

Procedure

  1. In the Enterprise Explorer view of the Java™ EE perspective, click the View Menu icon, View menu icon, and select Select working Set.
  2. Select the type of project or projects that you want to group in your working set:
    Select Working Set
  3. Your Enterprise Explorer view now displays only the projects included in your working set:
    Select working set result
  4. You can create more than one working set, and you can toggle back and forth between a number of working sets in your workspace.
