screenshot1

When I browse in java Framework for information (screenshot1), immediately view "Projects" displays the library. It then becomes difficult to navigate correctly in my solution. In these cases, I have to constantly right click and select "collapse all" to find my projects.

Is it possible to have an option to disable the opening of external libraries in the project view ?

Thank you for your attention.
Sébastien.

so you turned on the "View/Synchronize editor with views" main menu checkbox?

affected code is ProjectTab.createSelectionTask() nut the actual searching is delegated to project type implementations via PathFinder/LogicalViewProvider.findPath(Node root, Object target)

This api is used from other  places as well (Select in projects action etc) and finding a way to distinguish the usecases might prove hard to achieve.

Sorry for the late reply ...

so you turned on the "View/Synchronize editor with views" main menu checkbox?
=> Yes, iI found this really great feature, but if there was an option to disable it in the case of navigation outside the project, it will be great.

This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.
