Description Juergen Kremp CLA 2004-09-07 04:06:53 EDT 
Dear experts, 

if a workspace contains many projects that belong to different "products", the
overview is easily lost

It would be beneficial if it would be possible to introduce a folder structure
that allows organizing the projects in the package explorer. 

Using different workspaces is not solution to this problem because the personal
settings (preferences, ...) are stored in the workspace.

Similar support was added to the package explorer in 3.1 M4. From the Package
Explorer menu, select Show > Working Sets.  You can configure your working sets
as a group of "project folders" for organizing your projects.

No core-level support for nested projects or project folders is planned.
