Well, the idea was that displaying all this information (complete hierarchy, relative paths etc) is just to complicated to display in the Project Explorer ... but I learned from the feedback we got so far that at least some want to see "the whole thing", so there will be an option to enable this :)

Just a tip: Most other IDEs depend heavily on a project explorer, but with greenhouse you might actually find it much more convenient to navigate with quickopen.
 At least that's what I am using most of the time, because in most of the cases you actually know (parts of) the name/class you want to work on. You don't have to grap the mouse, browse through the hierarchy and double click ... use Ctrl+K, type parts of the file name, press enter, and that' s it!

> 2. Apparently there is no way to have a tree like view of your namespaces/classes/types/methods - this would be very helpful!

A class explorer is on the list of planned features.
