I have a project from a friend for comparison while I learn to use Eclipse. He has his build folder shown right there in the project tree in the package explorer.

I can not get mine to do that. I see it under my project outside of Eclipse, and it seems very useful to see the manifest, the ,class files etc. At least at this point, but mine will not show up no matter what I do.

anyone know a way to do it?

This depends on what sort of project you've created and/or if you've
told Eclipse to change the name of this folder.

By default, simple Java projects in Eclipse are created to use a bin
folder into which to dump .class files. On the other hand, Dynamic Web
Projects default to using a folder named build.

You can change this by right-clicking the project, choosing Build Path
-> Configure Build Path and clicking the Source tab. Look near the
bottom of the dialog.

Hope this helps.
