For me, it appears in the Eclipse "Package explorer" if I disable the ".* 
resources" filter.

Hm. GitHub Community tips say it's a good idea to have it:

https://github.com/apache/uima-uimafit/blob/master/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md

I believe a link to this is most prominently shown to first-time contributors.
I can see that in the DKPro Core GitHub issue tracker, it is under a
"Helpful resources" heading on the right side when opening an issue. We don't
use the GitHub issue tracker in uimaFIT though. I think it should also show up
when creating new PRs, but currently I cannot verify this.

Use the Package explorer view?
