Allows the developer to filter the Project, Packages, Resources, Problems and (optionally) Classes
lists within the workbench to just show the items they are interested in. Options include
all items, selected items, owned items, items matching (or excluding) a
specified pattern, any items matching an existing working set and any
loaded solutions.

"All Items" will show all projects, packages and classes (and is equivalent
to the VA Java default behavior). "Selected Items" filters the view to the list
of projects containing the currently selected items (by dynamically creating a temporary
working set). "Owned Items" filters the list to items owned by the current user
(including any containing packages and projects). "Use Pattern"
filters the list of projects to include or exclude those that match the
specified filter. The working set filters filter the list
to the projects, packages and classes specified by the working set. Working
sets may be exported to files or imported or merged back in from
files. Likewise, if any
Solutions have been defined and loaded, they will be presented as possible view
filters.
A filter pattern may be set via the "Use Pattern | Set..."
option. The filter list is composed of any number of text filters (with
wildcards) separated by commas.

By default, the view filtering is not applied to the Classes page of the workbench. You
can turn this on via the "VA Assist | Misc" options page.
