Created attachment 159906 [details] normal view It would be nice to have a more compact view of the java package structure. It's not really informative to repeatedly list out the base packages of classes in the project navigation panel, it just makes the interface noisy and cluttered. It would be nice if the individual package names could be shown with only the first letter. A shortcut key or some other action could toggle compact view on and off. I've attached two screenshots with default and compact view of the package structure.

There is a reduced tree which shows a tree with compacted common part. However shorten the common names as also a possibility.
