SimpleJavaView is a VS Code extension designed to streamline your Java development experience by providing a focused, uncluttered view of your source code. It simplifies the file explorer by isolating the src/main/java and src/main/resources directories and automatically flattening nested package structures.
Java Packages View
The extension provides a dedicated "Java Packages" view that transforms deep directory structures into a clean, flat package view:
Standard Explorer
Java Packages View
Features
Focused View: A dedicated Java Packages view in the Explorer activity bar that shows only your essential Java source and resource.
Package Flattening: Automatically compacts single-child directory paths (e.g., com.example.project) into a single tree node, similar to IntelliJ IDEA.
Live Updates: The view automatically refreshes when files are added, changed, or deleted within your project.
Manual Refresh: Includes a refresh button in the view title for quick manual synchronization.
Usage
Open a Java project in VS Code.
Look for the Java Packages section in the Explorer sidebar.
Browse your source files in a flattened, clean tree structure.
Click the Refresh icon in the view header if you need to manually update the tree.
Requirements
VS Code version 1.104.0 or higher.
A standard Java project structure (containing src/main/java and/or src/main/resources).
