In Eclipse, hide files ending in tilde `~`

Eclipse, by default, hides files that begin with . in the Package Explorer, Navigator, and other file views (e.g. .classpath, .settings, etc). Is it possible to hide files which end in ~ (e.g. somefile.txt~).

Yes, these are Emacs backup files, created while using both Eclipse and Emacs on the same project.

• In the package explorer toolbar, there should be an icon that makes a dropdown menu appear; in that menu, select "Filters…".
