Is there a way in Eclipse, to see empty parent packages? I have an issue freely viewing/accessing package new.galaxywar.client.resources.images.game that only contains 2 sub-packages:

packages

I tried creating that package again, because I thought that i might not have it in my eclipse project, but it won't let me:

packages

How do I prevent "views from filtering empty parent packages"?

In "Project Explorer" panel, click on the "View Menu" button (represented as a triangle). Then go to "Customize View..." and deselect "Empty parent packages".

This should do the trick.
