Diff PackageExplorer and ProjectExplorer? [message #648632]

I have two Eclipse installations.

On one I am working with the Package Explorer on the other with the Project Explorer.

When I look at the pane content I can see no difference.

Is there any difference at all?

One difference is that you can filter stuff in Package Explorer, View
Menu > Filters. (For View menu click on the inverted triangle icon on
the top right of the Package Explorer)

Well, actually that's not a difference, see Project Exploer view menu >
Customize View...

There are two main differences:
1. the Package Explorer is highly tuned up for Java development (UI and
performance)
2. the Project Explorer is extensible i.e. it can show the structure of
different project types and people can extend the Project Explorer with
their own project type.

So that means:

If I develop Java prgms I should prefer the
Package Explorer.

If I develop with other programming languages then I should take Project Explorer

Correct?
