Hi,

we are using eclipse and unless the Package Explorer pane is taking up a large amount of real estate all you can see are the package names of the class, eg com.xyz.abc. Is there to only display the last meaningful package name so that the java class name can easily be seen?


thanks,

Susan

Do you mean "layout flat" vs. "layout hierarchical"? Layout is switchable off the dropdown menu attached to the inverted black triangle (rightmost control at the top of the window).

No, I mean having the layout flat but removing the redundant packages, this is illustrated below:

Currently in eclipse it displays the java source prepended with their packages, eg:
com.myCompanyName.project.package1
com.myCompanyName.project.package2
com.myCompanyName.project.package3
com.myCompanyName.project.package4
com.myCompanyName.project.package5

But can eclipse display it as:
package1
package2
package3
package4
package5


thnaks,

Susan

To the best of my knowledge this can't be done.

Personally I have almost all my 'views' on fast view so they only take up screen space when I'm looking at them.
