### Description Until now I can not understand why there are two views of the **Projects** view and **Files** view instead of a **Project Files** view. For example, I have a maven project root directory institutions include: src directory and help directory, pom.xml, LISENCE, README.md, package.xml (maven-assembly-plugin's package description file) and so on. As shown in the picture:   Usually in coding development Projects view is the most common view, but this view only shows src directory and pom.xml file, I have to switch to Files view to see other files, but when in Files view, I have to open the class files step by step when I see them. To sum up, it is convenient to view class files in Projects view but not other files, and convenient to view other files in Files view but not class files. Therefore, it is highly recommended to merge Projects view and Files view to integrate the advantages of both, which is also the choice of most IDEs or code editors. ### Use case/motivation _No response_ ### Related issues _No response_ ### Are you willing to submit a pull request?
