There is another thing I suggest we can grab from Eclipse, to provide view filters. With filters, developers can specify what he/she wants to view and what he/she doesn't want. For example, you can specify not to show empty packages and not to show refereced libraries, which will then help you to hide all the empty packages and referenced libaries from the navigator. I list all the filters currently provided in Elipse 3.1 FYI. .* files Binary plug-in and feature projects Closed projects Empty packages Emtpy parent packages Fields Import declarations Inner class files Java files Local types Non-Java elements Non-Java projects Non-public members Non-shared projects Package declarations Referenced libraries Static fields and methods

Generally accepted, although I'll have to see eclipse's impl to fully see what this is about.
Created attachment 22056 [details] Attach a screenshot to illustrate the filter idea.
