In IntelliJ is there any package/class browser like Eclipse's Java Browsing perspective?

Being a long-time Eclipse power user, I'm totally addicted to the Smalltalk-style package and class browser it presents in the Java Browsing perspective. Is there anything similar for IntelliJ?

You can achieve something similar with opening these tool windows:

  • Structure (View > Tool Windows > Structure);
  • Type Hierarchy (Navigate > Type Hierarchy)
  • Project, but choose its "Packages" view
  • Favorites, and add the whole project as a favorite (either with drag and drop or via right-clicking it)

Then you can rearange the windows to match your preference - see attached screenshot.
