I am exploring Project Builder as an IDE for serious Java programming. I am running into an early speed bump in that I can't figure out how to get a hierarchical class view that breaks down classes by Java packages, as has become the norm for most Java-biased IDE.
I realize that PB is language-agnostic. However I find the package breakdown class view in other IDEs supremely useful (and intuitive). If I could get that to work in PB, I'd be one happy camper.
One can get a seemingly close effect with the files view (using groups to map package folders). However, because that view shows files, not classes, one can't expand a file to show its methods and members.
Also is there any way to cross reference classes and methods from one file to the other (in Visual Slick Edit, WIndows, I was able to right-click on a method and request its definition which would take me to the corresponding file. Pretty nifty.)

See /Developer/Applications/JavaBrowser... you might find that more useful that PB's Classes tab.

I dunno about Java, but in other languages at least, PB lets you command-double-click on a term in source code to find its definition. (If you're using the August/Jaguar version of PB, you can also option-double-click to jump to documentation.
