By default, Eclipse won't show my .htaccess file that I maintain in my project. It just shows an empty folder in the Package Viewer tree. How can I get it to show up? No obvious preferences.

In the package explorer, in the upper right corner of the view, there is a little down arrow. Tool tip will say view menu. From that menu, select filters

filters menu

From there, uncheck .* resources.

So Package Explorer -> View Menu -> Filters -> uncheck .* resources.

With Eclipse Kepler and OS X this is a bit different:

Package Explorer -> Customize View -> Filters -> uncheck .* resources
