I have been using the option: “Compress all package name segments, except the final segment”. You would not need to write too many lines with this option for customizing the package structure, as in “Abbreviate package names”.
Just give a pattern, like “1.” and that would give the package structure display as “o.t.annotations”, “o.t.collections” or “o.t.internal”.

Wow, can’t believe I haven’t thought of looking for that option before. Especially useful at work, all those “com.company” prefixes are really just wasting screen space.
