Package within package? [message #53429]

How do I create a package within a package?
I would like to create a structure like
javax.swing.border but with my own packages
like
myPackage.myGraphics.myBorder
but eclipse doesn't allow me to create
subpackages.

What's the common way to solve this?

Thanks
Daniel

What do you mean it doesn't allow you? If you open the package wizard,
and type in a package name that is a sub-package of an existing package,
it should work fine. If it's not working, what error or message do you
see? What build are you using (see Help > About).

Ok, I now understand that I have to type the complete subpackage name
myself when creating it, e.g. myPackage.myGraphics
I thought myGraphics would be a subdirectory to myPackage in the eclipse
Package Explorer, but apparently not.

Why isn't it a nice tree structure of the packages so one could have an
easy overview?

Cool, great thanks. I know eclipse is really powerful, it just takes
some time to master it.
