# WebLogic Workshop IDE Quick Tour

Move your cursor around the image of the WebLogic Workshop IDE (Integrated Development Environment). Tooltips will appear that explain the various area of the user interface.

The WebLogic Workshop IDE adapts itself in several ways to the type of file being edited. The file being edited in the preceding image is a Java Web Service, or JWS file. The image shows the Design View for a web service. There are custom design views and custom source editors for all of the file types that WebLogic Workshop creates.

## Filtering Files and Directories in the Application Tree View Tab

You can prevent files and directories located in your application directory from appearing in the tree view of the WebLogic Workshop Application tab. Workshop already filters certain file types and directory names by default. To make adjustments to these filters, simply open the applications .work file located in the applications root directory and change the value of the excludedirs or excludefiles attributes. These attributes are listed in red below:

    <option name="excludedirs" value="cvs;sccs;rcs;" />
    <option name="excludefiles" value="\..*|.*\.[0-9]+|wlw_[0-9]+\..*" />

The excludedirs attribute lists the names of directories WebLogic Workshop will not list in the Application tab's tree view. Alter the regular expression value of the excludefiles attribute if you want WebLogic Workshop to exclude certain types of files.
