Eclipse - changing font size in project/package explorer
I have a 17 inch Mac Book Pro which is frequently hooked up to 27 inch high res display and the font size in the package explorer was way too small. Eclipse is supposed to respect the OS settings but it turns out on Mac OS X the default setting for eclipse is to use small Fonts rather than the standard os fonts.
on Mac OS X you can change edit the eclipse.ini file and remove -Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.carbon.smallFonts restart eclipse and presto you will find that your package explorer looks brilliant with reasonable sized fonts.
You make have to use the Finder option "Show Contents" on the Eclipse.app to find the eclipse.ini file, and, the smallFonts line may occur more than once in the .ini file.
For Mac OS X, download TinkerTool from http://bresink.de/osx/TinkerTool.html and then change the font size for "Help tags".
That changed the font size of package explorer for me. :)
I can say pretty confidently that you cannot change that font size from within eclipse, only choice is on the operating system. And on ubuntu you are able to change that font size.
