I understand that Aptana is built from Eclipse. I tried searching for the Package Explorer to enable viewing of .htaccess files inside the project but I can't find the Package Explorer.

Any help of the exact location on how to enable it will be excellent.

In Aptana 3 it's little down arrow > 'Customize View' > 'Filters' - uncheck .* files to show files like .htaccess and .* resources to show folders like .settings/

    Clear answer to something so deceptive. *Uncheck* to show? Aptana's hints are rather vague. The tiny arrow and 'Customize View' didn't help much at all. Good example - 'how not to do it' - for lectures about usability. – kasimir Oct 31 '12 at 13:29
  • I'm on linux and I need to deactivate the _.* files_ AND the _.* ressources_ filter to see any dot-files or -directories. – Andy Jun 02 '15 at 10:50
  • Just to clarify: In Aptana 3, ensure the project is selected in the Project Explorer, then click the little down arrow at the side of the Project Explorer pane...[continue from answer] – JW. Jul 09 '15 at 03:03

For Aptana 2
In the project view, click the little down arrow in the top right hand corner, click on 'Filters' and in here you can tick which hidden files you want to view.

For Apatana 3

    In Aptana 3 it's little down arrow > 'Customize View' > 'Filters'; however there doesn't seem to be an option relating to hidden files. – KenB Nov 04 '11 at 16:56
  • Hm.. anybody knows an option how to do this in Aptana 3? – Blackbam Jan 23 '12 at 15:50
  • This is not a correct answer for the latest version of aptana!! – DrCord May 27 '13 at 14:55

    I no longer use Aptana, but there have been some downvotes on this answer recently. I've updated the answer to address this. – David Yell May 30 '13 at 14:55

I'm using Aptana 3 on a Kubuntu 11.10 machine. In my experience, I had to select the little down arrow from Aptana 3's Project Explorer, then choose > Customize View > Filters and uncheck both *.files and *.resources to show the .htaccess file.

Either one, by itself, would not display the .htaccess file.
