By default, Eclipse won't show my .htaccess file that I maintain in my project. It just shows an empty folder in the Package Viewer tree. How can I get it to show up? No obvious preferences.

In the package explorer, in the upper right corner of the view, there is a little down arrow. Tool tip will say view menu. From that menu, select filters
From there, uncheck .* resources.
So Package Explorer -> View Menu -> Filters -> uncheck .* resources.
With Eclipse Kepler and OS X this is a bit different:
Package Explorer -> Customize View -> Filters -> uncheck .* resources
1. From Package Explorer open the Filters... dialog:
2. Then uncheck .* resources option:
In your package explorer, pull down the menu and select "Filters ...". You can adjust what types of files are shown/hidden there.
Looking at my Red Hat Developer Studio (approximately Eclipse 3.2), I see that the top item in the list is ".* resources" and it is excluded by default.
If using Zend Studio, same arrow, go to RSE view, click on the downward facing arrow, hit preferences, and then check show hidden files.
That did the trick for me.
If you're using Eclipse PDT, this is done by opening up the PHP explorer view, then clicking the upside-down triangle in the top-right of that window. A context window appears, and the filters option is available there. Clicking the Filters menu option opens a new window, where .* files can be unchecked, thus allowing the editing of .htaccess files.
I searched forever for this, so I'm sorta answering my own question here. I'm sure someone else will have the same problem too, so I hope this helps someone else as well.
