Enhanced Eclipse file search plugin

Existing eclipse file search has few pitfalls,

• Can not search based on file path pattern
• Can not开发者_如何转开发 search based on file exclusing pattern
• Can not search for directory names [say search for all maven generated target directories and mark them as derived ]

Are there any plugins that extend to cover these functionalities, or I need to wait for newer version of eclipse ?

I don't know of a search plugin which has those feature (like an exclude pattern).

There was a SOC project in 2007 to enhance that search, but the result, in term of exclusion pattern for instance, will be available in Eclipse4 (see bug 252996).
