why jars not shown in the navigation view.
Please advise

3.Navigator - This view is an implementation of the now deprecated (as of 3.5)

I wonder why it is deprecated

why jars not shown in the navigation view.
Please advise

They just aren't. Somebody, when developing Eclipse, made the decision that one view wouldn't show them and another view would. Even they have probably forgotten why. The point to having both views be available is that, if you don't like one, you can just pick the other.

As I said, the Navigator view will be provided by an implementation of the CommonNavigator. This will be the new implmentation which will be enhance and added more features.

You can use any of them as per your comfort.

I see Navigator view only but not 'CommonNavigator'. How to enable 'CommonNavigator' please advise

Mahesh Bhutkar

'CommonNavigator' is an implementation at code level where Navigator view is provided with more features.
