Is it possible to hide .svn files in the Open Resource dialog (Ctrl + Shift + R) of Eclipse?
It's very annoying when you have hundreds of files...
Cheers.

Try the following:
Project > Properties > Resource > Resource Filters > Add
Select: Exclude All, Folders, All Children (recursive)
Name Matches: .svn
OK and Apply

1in my eclipse, sub folders still show `.svn` , therefore, I created a regular expression which removed .svn anywhere. This is the regex used `^(.)+[.]svn$` – user1406062 May 17 '13 at 08:23

1This also works for people using git. Just exclude ".git" instead of ".svn" – KevinL Mar 27 '14 at 14:49

What if the plugin isn't doing the work for you? Like in my situation, I have subclipse installed, but it's not hidding the files! I even uninstalled-reinstalled
Nevermind, this blog post solved the issue: http://blog.pengoworks.com/index.cfm/2009/4/20/Eclipse-showing-svnbase-files-in-Open-Resource-dialog

The Subversive/Subclipse installer will do everything for you (ignore .svn as resource), plus you get SVN support...

As Doug indirectly pointed out, you must close and reopen the project in Eclipse after installing Subversive or Subclipse.

If you can not, for some reason, install a SVN plugin as suggested by gimpf, you can filter the list of the Open Resource dialog.
As indicated in this SO question, you have at the top-right corner of the "Open Resource" dialog box a small blue arrow.
Click it and "Select Working Set".
Then create a new working set as required to include only what you need.
Not as practical as having a plugin do the work for you though ;)
