With J2ee Project, the default perspective includes Project Explore at
left.
But there is huge list for all jar files used by this project. How to hide
the jar files in list(come from Java build path -> library in property of
the project) and only show user's file, folder and package?

Hit the little down arrow at the top of the Package Explorer and select
"Filters". In the dialog, exclude (check) "Libraries from External".

HTH,

That's fine for external libraries. Is there a way to suppress the
display of the project's own libraries? And other cruft?

Working Sets are an unsatisfying answer, because they flatten everything
out to the selected levels. I.e. when I create a working set with
src/javac from three projects that I have in my workspace, I see a
display with just three "src/javac"s (no mention of which projects they
came from, etc.), which is very hard to work with.

What I'd like to be able to do is to define custom filters, that can
filter out any thing that's not a specified set of suffixes, or
something like that, but otherwise preserve the hierarchical display of
the Project Explorer.

You might like the Java Browsing perspective better. Open it up and give
it a try. Personally, I only use Java Browsing and Resource
perspectives, never Java Perspective.
Also, in Java Browsing, I prefer to stack the Projects, Packages, and
Types, and Members views vertically along the left instead of the
horizontal default layout - YMMV. I also keep Resource Navigator open as
a Fast View so I can quickly find non-Java resources, along with
Ctrl+Shift+R.

Hope this helps,
Eric
