Package Explorer view

Package Explorer view displays the resources in the workbench.

The files in the view are given in hierarchical order:

Package Explorer view is shared by two perspectives - Java perspective and GIT perspective.

In the Java perspective, Package Explorer view is used to open and manipulate Java files.

In the JavaScript perspective, Package Explorer view is used to open and manipulate files added to the GIT repository.

Both Java and GIT perspectives (as well as their views) are the part of the Eclipse-based IDE.

They are supplied with Lycia to allow 4gl developers to work conveniently with their projects but is not developed by Querix.
