Project Directory Structure Problem in Eclipse

Question

I am facing this weird problem ..When i checked out project from svn my whole project was in directory kind of structure

ie. my package was like (folder inside another folder)

MainProject
+
+
+++project_1_name
++++++++src
++++++++++++com
++++++++++++++companyname
++++++++++++++++++ClassName
+
+++project_2_name ++++++++src
++++++++++++com
++++++++++++++companyname
++++++++++++++++++ClassName

but i want it to be like

MainProject
+
project_1_name
+++++src.com.companyname.className
project_2_name
+++++src.com.companyname.className

when i am importing a particular sub project from the main project separately on my workspace then the project is appearing as package structure as i see..I am using eclipse for the first time ..Kindly pardon me for asking some thing stupid like this ..But please help me

thanks in advance

Answer 1

The structure/folder hierarchy is as expected, a java package is a folder.

In Eclipse, Package Explorer, click on a small arrow-like icon pointing downwards and select Package Presentation 'Flat' or 'Hierarchical'.

Possibly you would like to have 'Flat'.

Answer 2

Do you mean you want the Package Explorer view instead of the Navigator view?

Window > Show View > Package Explorer

Or maybe you want the Project Explorer view:

Window > Show View > Project Explorer

Either of those views has a "flat" and a "hierarchical" package style. The "flat" package style sounds like what you want.
