I would like to propose that the Type and Hierarchy panes be merged into one and that viewing an alphabetical list or a class hierarchy just be an attribue toggle for each instance of the new pane to be remembered by each persepective. The Types and Hierarch context menus are slightly different and quite similar at the same time. At the very least both context menus should be the same: I cannot create a "New..." class from the Hierarchy menu. Thank you.
Currently the types pane is linked to a package and only shows the content of the selected package. This is fast (contains relation ship) and the types pane updates whenever the package content changes. In contrast building a type hierarchy for a package is expensive. So we can't update the hierarchy on selection changes nor when the content of a packages changes. So allowing this view in a browsing perspective would break the "browsing" nature of that perspective. There are no plans to add this support for 2.x or 3.0. But feel free to supply a patch and we are definitelly looking at the code.
