The hierarchy of the Java-specific project property pages should match the one from the Java preference node. Currently Java occupies 4 top-level nodes, which looks clumsy with many plugins installed which contribute project property pages.

I have a top page prepared since 3.1, but I never really added it. I will try and add it again.

Note that the number of property pages doesn't grow that much with more plugins as pages are contributed only if the java project nature is matched.
So I'm not really sure if the additional node makes your life easier. Note that you will always have to open it first!

I've made an interesting observation. I don't see the JDT property pages for simple projects in a pure SDK. However, as soon as I install WTP I see them on simple projects, too.

I've opend bug 133300 to track the Callistoissue with JDT property pages appearing on simple projects if WTP is installed.
