Eclipse中创建Maven风格目录，如何隐藏Package Explorer中的src根目录

Hey there! I totally get it—having that extra root src directory cluttering up your Package Explorer when you’ve set up your Maven-style src/main and src/test folders is super annoying. Here are a few solid ways to hide it cleanly:

Method 1: Filter the Root src Folder Directly #

This is the quickest fix if you just want to hide that one folder without changing your project structure:

• Open the Package Explorer, then click the tiny dropdown arrow (View Menu) in the top-right corner of the panel.
• Select Filters... from the menu.
• In the Filters window, switch to the Resource tab.
• Click the Add... button, navigate to your project’s root src folder, select it, and hit OK.
• Back in the Filters window, check the box next to the src folder you just added, then click OK. The folder will disappear from your Package Explorer immediately.

Method 2: Convert to a Maven Project (Recommended) #

If you haven’t already, turning your project into a proper Maven project will not only hide the root src but also automate a lot of build path and directory management:

• Right-click your project in Package Explorer > Configure > Convert to Maven Project.
• Fill in the required fields (Group Id, Artifact Id, Version) in the popup, then click Finish.
• Once converted, Eclipse will automatically recognize the Maven directory structure. Switch your Package Explorer to Hierarchical presentation (View Menu > Presentation > Hierarchical) to see the clean src/main/java and src/test/java folders nested under a collapsed src entry (or it might not show the root src at all, depending on your view settings).
• Pro tip: Use the Maven Projects view (Window > Show View > Other... > Maven > Maven Projects) for an even cleaner view of your project’s Maven-specific directories.

Method 3: Use Working Sets to Curate What You See #

If you want more control over which folders are displayed, Working Sets are a great option:

• Click the View Menu in Package Explorer > Working Sets > Edit Working Sets....
• Click New, choose either Java or Resource as the working set type, give it a name (like "Project Sources"), and click Next.
• Select only the folders you want to see (src/main/java, src/test/java, maybe src/main/resources) and click Finish.
• Back in Package Explorer, click View Menu > Top Level Elements > Working Sets. Now only the folders in your Working Set will be visible, and the root src will be hidden entirely.

Quick Note #

If you ever need to bring the root src back, just reverse the steps: for Method 1, uncheck the folder in Filters; for Method 3, switch back to Projects as the top-level element.
