Description Eric Jain

If a project uses many external jar files, the packages view tends to get a bit 
cluttered. A possible solution would be to group all jar files under one 
heading such as "external resources" or "libraries".

you can put the external JARs into a separate project and export them all. In 
this way you can achieve a kind of grouping.

For 2.0 we will only provide to hide external JARs - defer

No plans to fix this for 2.1. Tagged as help wanted.

Chaning state from assigned later to resolved later. Assigned later got 
introduced by the last bug conversion and is not a supported Eclipse bug state.

Any update on this? (It has been 3 years since last comment - surely 'later' cannot get much worse than that.)

No commitment of this item yet. Workaround is to use user libraries (see Java preferences).
Artificial nodes are always a problem, that's why we hesitate to do this.
