Extending the Package Explorer View [message #290520]

I'd like to create my own view via extension of the Package Explorer view.
After poking around (new to plug-in development, but think I'm getting my
hands around it pretty well), I'm finding that Eclipse disallows extension
of the requisite classes. Since, as I said, I'm new to plugin
development, I thought perhaps I was going about it wrong. What I'd like
to do is eliminate the class file from the tree (i.e. package->type rather
than package->classFile->type). My assumption is that I need to associate
a modified content provider with the tree. How can I go about this
without rewriting the lot from scratch?

Thanx much,
BRiaN

Do you have th source code downloaded? A while back I modified the
contentprovider for the Package Explorer. It is possible to do what you
are saying without a code rewrite from the ground up. Take a look at the
ResourceNavigator class. It is similar, I think.
