Hello all,
Following these instructions here,

http://help.eclipse.org/indigo/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.user%2Freference%2Fref-27.htm

I click on the upside-down triangle in the Project Explorer, to select the package presentation option

Top Level Elements
Select Working Set
Deselect Working Set
Edit Active Working Set
Package Presentation
Customize View
Link with Editor
Focus on Active Task

But no 'Package Presentation'.

Is it not supported in the CDT? Regardless, is there a better way to display the flat files for my project using a different display tool, rather than the Project Explorer?

Any thoughts?

One option is to mark folders as "Source folders". Such folders are displayed in package-like presentation directly under project node in Project Explorer. You can do that in folder properties->Paths and Symbols->Source Location.

It looks like that allows for a maximum two levels of hierarchy, but it doesn't actually group all files in the same bucket.
I would like to have all the files flat, then click on one of those files and start typing the name of the next file I want to look at it will then select that file and I can easily open it. Currently, it will highlight the specified file, but only if it is in the same directory level as the file I clicked on when I started typing.
I'm not really a fan of directory hierarchy when I'm actually dealing with code- even projects with thousands of files.

A other option is:

Navigate -> Open Resource... and then type the file name.

Or use the short cut key: Ctrl + Shift + R
