"flatten packages" preference for "empty" packages, and folder

clicks instead on one.
Hm, using either the hierarchical mode in combination with the "Fold
empty packages" preference or the flat mode in the package explorer
works for me with Eclipse 3.4.1.
I found the culprit: if exclude filter of the resource folder is set to
exclude contents, package explorer ignores empty folding, and shows
package as a real folder.
This discovery does not eliminate the issue, because "maven project
import" sets exclude filter *.* on all the resource folders - it
rightfully does that to let maven control filtering of resources. As I
don't imagine that any self-respecting developer works without m2e, then
issue is still there, and it's still a direct consequence of the attempt
to move Messages.properties into a resource folder.
From my experience for flattening to work properly, Eclipse needs to
ignore the ".svn" directories as otherwise the directories don't look
empty. Installing a SVN plugin like Subclipse seems to do this job
(though I sometimes needed to close/re-open a project for the package
explorer to get properly updated).
The above statement applies - cannot imagine working without SVN plugin :)
On Mac platform there another beast lurking around - the .DS_Store file,
causing this issue. Has anyone found a sane way to deal with it if it
shows up? I just wrote a script to recursively delete it.
Thanks,
