It would be great if Java source files containing only package-private classes would be displayed with a different icon 
than source files with public classes, in particular in the Files and Projects tree views. Currently when looking at 
the list of source files of a package, it's not clear which files are part of the package's public API and which are 
just implementation classes. With different icons this important distinction would become directly visible, which would 
be quite useful both when writing code within the package and when writing client code in some other package.
