<h1>Java views</h1>
<p>The Java development tools contribute the following views to the workbench:</p>
<h2>Package Explorer View</h2>
<p>The Package Explorer view shows a Java-specific view of resources inside Java projects in your workbench.
The Java element hierarchy is defined by the project's build class paths and consists of elements like</p>
<ul>
<li>source folders and libraries</li>
<li>packages</li>
<li>source and class files</li>
<li>types, methods, fields and initialzers</li>
</ul>
<h2>Hierarchy View</h2>
<p>The Hierarchy view allows you to look at the complete hierarchy for a
type, only its subtypes, or only its supertypes. You can also open the hierarchy on a project, source folder or package.</p>
<h2>Projects View</h2>
<p>The Projects view shows Java projects, source folders, external and internal libraries.
<br>
Note: source folders and libraries (both internal and external) presented in this view are not expandable.
When they are selected, their contents are shown in the Packages view.</p>
<h2>Packages View</h2>
<p>The Packages view shows a list of Java packages from the currently selected Java projects, source folders or libraries.
Typically, the Projects view is used to make this selection.
</p>
<h2>Types View</h2>
<p>The Types view shows a list of Java types from the currently selected packages.
Typically, the Packages view is used to make this selection.
</p>
<h2>Members View</h2>
<p>The Members shows the content of a type, compilation unit or CLASS file.
Typically, the Types view is used to make this selection.
</p>
<h1>View Customization</h1>
<p>Both the appearance and behavior of the Java views can be customized.</p>
