title: Filter Empty Directories in Package Explorer View
body: <p>Is there a way in eclipse to filter/hide empty directory trees in the package explorer view?</p>
  
  <p>This is different than filtering directories like '.svn' or maven's target, or filtering empty packages.  It's more trying to clean up empty directories trees that show up as a result of filter rules.</p>
  
  <p>Context- We have a generic project in our workspace that uses filters to ignore non text based files(mp3s, jpgs, etc).  It allows us to quickly edit our files in eclipse.  The problem is because of the filters there are a lot of empty folders present.  If eclipse can ignore any empty folders due to filters it would make the project cleaner.</p>
  
  <p>Update- I filed a bug report in eclipse's buzilla system for those that wish to have this feature:
