Properties Editor -> Filter -> tooo complex logik for me
--------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBIDE-7393
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-7393
             Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: core
    Affects Versions: 3.2.0.Beta2
            Reporter: Vitali Yemialyanchyk
            Assignee: Viacheslav Kabanovich
            Priority: Minor

I did not understand how this works, really. I do not so smart to print regular expression to search some property.
I did not guess from the first look "Expression" means regular expression - I search JIRA to find what it mean and how it should work...
I find JBIDE-4572, JBIDE-4576. 
but really I do think what JBIDE-4576 is not about "real" regular expressions!
it is just about support "*" and "?" - a good  example here is Ctrl-O search in Java files.

the example how it works now - source file:

hibernate.connection.driver_class=org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver
hibernate.connection.password=
hibernate.connection.url=jdbc:hsqldb:hsql://localhost/
hibernate.connection.username=sa
hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.HSQLDialect
hibernate.dialect222=org.hibernate.dialect.HSQLDialect222

"di*2" - find nothing...

so really my opinion - regular expressions here is options for genius...
just simple  "*" and "?" support is necessary.
"Case sensitive" - this option look like excessive.. - I wrote my opinion in JBIDE-4572 - 
checkbox "Case sensitive" - is simple to understand - so it could be here.
