It would be nice if JDT had better support for creating package-info.java files. Right now what I do is New → File → "package-info.java" and then do the quick fix for for adding the package declaration (New → Class doesn't work). This is a bit annoying especially for APIs that require such files like JAXB. It would be nice if the following two would be supported:

 - In the New wizard under Java there is an entry "Package Info" (or similar)
 - In New → Package there is a checkbox for "create package-info.java"

Reproducible: Always
