[IDEA 4.0] Favorite Feature = Package View

IDEA 4 Package View My favorite feature of IDEA 4.0 is the package view. Since I keep my src and test trees separate, but their package structures identical, this is the view I've been longing for. Hopefully it's possible with Eclipse and I just haven't figured it out. What it does is allow me to see tests right next to my classes. In Eclipse, I have to constantly navigate between the two trees to edit tests and such.

Does this mean I like IDEA better than Eclipse? No, it simply means that I wish Eclipse had this feature, and I appreciate IDEA for adding it.

Packages is close; really, a combination of packages and members (from the Java browsing perspective) is what you need Matt. Unfortunately, packages is currently just a flat list, as is members (As of 2.1.2 anyway - I can check 3.0 when I get home).

Not quite xam - I want it on the left, and not all the packages, just the ones for the current selected project. Ideally, there would just be a "collapse packages" option in Package Explorer. Instead of showing "src/ejb" and "test/ejb", it would just show "org.appfuse.persistence".

Matt, I think Packages + Types views together should be ok. You can switch off synchronization with the editor and enable a working set to show up only nedded packages. However I would agree with you that it would be nice to have an option to collapse source folders into the same hierarchy. Why don't you submit a enhancement request into Eclipse bugzilla?
