Description David Buttler CLA 2002-02-20 19:28:28 EST 
It would be really nice to have a tree view of packages and of classes in the 
java browsing view. I thought this was one of the coolest features of the VAJ 
view -- it made it easy to hide things that wasn't working on so I could focus 
in on the context I was involved with.

Any idea how difficult this would be to implement?
Comment 1 Erich Gamma CLA 2002-03-11 10:18:19 EST 
By tree view you mean showing

org.eclipse.jdt

as:
 
org
    eclipse
        jdt

This is doable but we don't plan to do it for 2.0.
Comment 2 David Buttler CLA 2002-03-11 10:30:35 EST 
I understand that this may not be a top priority for 2.0

Out of curiosity, is it more difficult than replacing a list view with a tree view ?
Obviously there is some more interesting things going on since each package
would have to be split on the "." and either shadow packages added for
non-existant packages or some nodes would be collapsed

(e.g. if there was the package org.eclispe.jdt, the packages org and org.eclipse
may not have any classes in them.  The tree view would either be as indicated above
- org
|--- eclipse
   |--- jdt
The alternative would be to collapse the tree for these packages, so it would
look like the following:
- org.eclipse.jdt
but if another package were added (org.eclipse.jdt.core) it would look like:
- org.eclipse.jdt
|--- core


VAJ for java did it the first way.  Packages that didn't exist were grayed out.

This is a duplicate of bug 6454, I believe.
