This may be a bug report or feature request. When I first started using Eclipse, I would right-click on a java type and go "Show in Package Explorer" expecting to see the type that I had clicked on appear. Instead the class that i was navigating in would appear in the package explorer view. I think my desired behaviour occurs for "Open Type Hierarchy". e.g. if on a valid type, then show it in package expl. otherwise show the current class. Thanks!
It's intended to show just the file, but your feature request is noted.
Moving to editor.
Show In Package Explorer has been replace by Show In > Package Explorer which is context sensitive.
No I think the request was that when Show In is used on e.g Widget, a code resolve is done and Widget is revealed.
Currently we show the surrounding element. We could change this to show the element under the caret.
