Description Unknown User CLA 2001-10-10 22:59:30 EDT 
1. Start with a java project containing 2 packages.
2. Select one package and invoke "Open Perspective | Java".
3. In new perspective open a java file.
4. Add an import statement referring to the other package.  Save.
5. Show Outline.
6. Select the import declaration for the other package.
7. Invoke Show in Packages View

Result: Packages view is activated but package is not shown.

Reason: If you open a perspective on one package the other packages are
not visible.  Hence, "Show in Packages View" will always fail.

Suggestion: Now that the packages view has drill down and up, perhaps this
action should reset the input of the packages view to reflect the selected package.
It could add a frame onto the navigation stack.

Given all the filtering we are providing now, this can happen regularly (e.g. 
when hiding reference libaries and you want to navigate to a JDK class.

We should inform the user that the type isn't found and provide the options to 
remove the filter(s)
