Lately we there have been lots of new additions to the Eclipse projects, stuff like the Web Tools or BIRT, and some more are on their way. One of those emerging plugins is Mylar, and it"s probably one of the coolest things ever seen in Eclipse lately!
It’s difficult to explain what’s Mylar in a few lines, but it’s kind of a intelligent view for the Navigator, Outline or Package Explorer that automatically filters the files/classes/methods/etc. you’re really working on, instead of showing everything. This is pretty useful in projects with a few hundreds of files, like the ones I’m working on right now…
For a closer look on what you can do with Mylar check this neat presentation or download it and try if for yourself (no binaries, only available using Eclipse Update).
May I you remind this still a beta version and there still are a few issues to resolve and lots of work to do, but it’s already very useful as it is right now.
