Hi,
I have several projects running for more than a year now. I always
upgraded to the newest eclipse milestone release but I think there is
something wrong in the display of the package explorer: It does not hide
empty parent packages.
Example: the package explorer view has to render the following hierarchy
(Layout is set to hierarchical):
com
|-domain
|-suite
|-app
|-base
|-subpackage1
|-ui
|-subpackage2
|-subpackage3
|-util
The string that corresponds to com.domain.suite.app is about 20
characters long. That is why I set package name compression to compress
hidden package names to ".".
In flat mode I see something like
....base
.....subpackage1
....ui
.....subpackage2
.....subpackage3
....util
In hierarchy mode I would like to see something like
...app
|-base
|-subpackage1
|-ui
|-subpackage2
|-subpackage3
|-util
Some projects render the sources in this manner, others display the
packages up to "app" with an empty package icon, instead of
hiding/compressing their names.
I already tried setting all CVS files to hidden (on windows) and to
reset that again, but no difference.
Perhaps someone knows what causes this inconsitency.
Thanks,
Kariem

Hi Wayne,
Thank you. I forgot to say that I have that turned on. I tried
selecting/deselecting "Empty Packages", "Empty Parent Packages", and
"Package Declarations" (do not know what this is for).
For two open projects that are displayed in the same view the display is
incosistent:
first project's source folder:
...app
|-base
|-subpackage1
|-ui
|-subpackage2
|-subpackage3
|-util
second project's source folder
com
|-domain
|-suite
|-app
|-base
|-subpackage1
|-ui
|-subpackage2
|-subpackage3
|-util
Thank you though,
Kariem

Hi,
I found out something. Could someone please verify this?
The preferences in my workspace are:
Preferences > Java > Appearance:
"Compress all package name segments ...": "."
Package Explorer > Layout
Hierarchical
Package Explorer > Filters
Default, plus: "Empty packages", "Empty parent packages"
Try setting the above preferences in your project. If your project
displays correctly (compression down to the first really used package)
and it is managed via CVS try the following:
- Start eclipse in a new workspace (args: "-data <dir-to-new-ws>")
- Import the project into this new workspace and set your
preferences to compress package.
- In the Package Explorer set the layout to "Hierachical" and hide
empty packages and empty parent packages.
If the package explorer now shows the sources differently than in your
first workspace, you see what I wanted to say.
Is there something I've been missing?
I filed a bug report at
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=49417
Feedback more than welcome :)
