OK here's what I would like: in the Eclipse package explorer, I see the following: (dot represents a clickable arrow that I can use to expand the folder)
Long story short, I want to have many packages, each with many subpackages, in a source folder (and several source folders, so making more won't solve the problem)--so on the order of a couple hundred packages per source folder--ten to twenty packages each with fifteen subpackages. Therefore, I want the hierarchy to look like this:
so I can open or close a package and see a list of subpackages instead of having package and subpackage all at the same level in the hierarchy--which again makes far too many packages simultaneously displayed. Note this is not a question about filesystem; the file system works fine as far as I can tell--it is only a question about the visual display in the Eclipse package explorer.
So: is there a way to add levels to the hierarchy? Thanks!! (Eclipse Helios on OS X 10.6)

In Eclipse, if the Project Explorer pane is not already open, click the Show View icon in the lower left corner of Eclipse, then click Project Explorer. In the Project Explorer pane, right-click your project name, then click Properties.
Upon running Eclipse you should see a pane labeled 'Package Explorer', probably on the left. If you do not see one, you can open it up by going to the Window menu, selecting Show View and Package Explorer. If it doesn't show up under Show View, select Other, then 'Java', then 'Package Explorer'.
Package Explorer > View menu (the triangle) > Configure Working Sets... There you can configure the ordering or choose auto-sorting.
Press Ctrl+Shift+H -or- from the Menu Bar go to Navigate | Open Type in Hierarchy.
Package Explorer / View Menu / Package Presentation... / Hierarchical
The "View Menu" can be opened with Ctrl + F10, or the small arrow-down icon in the top-right corner of the Package Explorer.
