Description Damien Cassou CLA 2008-10-17 11:31:44 EDT 
Build ID: I20080617-2000

Steps To Reproduce:

Create a type com.mycompany.myproject.Main. Then, in the Java browsing perspective and in the 'packages' view, you will see:

> com

you have to click on the arrow to see mycompany and then click again and again to see Main. It seems the 'empty parent packages' filter of the 'packages' view should display:

> com.mycompany.myproject

directly.

On the contrary, the 'package explorer' view seems to work fine if I add it to the perspective.

I tried to close and reopen the view without success. I also tried to disable/reenable all filters and nothing changed. 

It does not seem related to bug #199046 or bug #195640 because they deal with 'package explorer' which works fine for me.

I think this bug is an important one because most projects use a com.mycompany.myproject scheme and developers don't want to click three times to get to their code.
