How to configure Eclipse's Package Explorer to display like IntelliJ IDEA's package view?

Question

In IntelliJ IDEA, the "Project" pane on the left has "View as:", with the following options:

• Project
• Packages
• Scope
• Favorites

If you select "Project" it shows something like Eclipse's "Package Explorer", however if you choose "Packages" and you followed following convention:

• src
  • main
    • java
    • org
      • ...
    • resources
  • test
    • java
    • org
      • ...
    • resources

it displays a view that merges the "main" and "test" folders, thus showing you the unit tests next to their associate classes (the classes they test). This is quite handy IMO, is there a way to do this in Eclipse (3.7.2)?

Thanks!

Here's an old eclipse bug reprt with screenshots attached: bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=173773 – Stricklin

I would love to have a feature like this in eclipse. – Vitrescence

Answer 1

This is the way to do it:

Triangle icon -> Package Presentation -> Hierarchial

Note that IntelliJ and AndroidStudio use Gradle style folders, that is src/main... and eclipse doesn't yet support Gradle and uses the older style.

Sorry for the delay :-). Thanks for the answer but this is not really what I meant. IDEA merges the main and test view, so you end up with the test classes next to the classes they test (only visually of course). – Iggie

No worries man, sorry for my late response, fell asleep. Didn't even know that that was an option in IDEA, good to know! – Bogy

Answer 2

Screenshots would help for those of us completely unfamiliar with IntelliJ. Have you tried the Java Browsing Perspective and its Projects and Packages Views?

Answer 3

You can use the Web perspective to see project structure as same as with intellij
