Summary: Collapse long folder hierarchies into one folder

Initial Comment:
In the tree view, it's not uncommon to see a long string of nested 
folders without any branching.  For example:

src
|- edu
  |- rice
    |- cs
      |- drjava
        |- sub1
        |- sub2

I find that such hierarchies, while really not providing much useful 
information, often cause all the useful folders to be indented more 
than half of the way across the pane.  I deal with this, when file 
names start running off the pane, by always scrolling as far right as I 
can.

I'd like to see a more elegant presentation of such hierarchies.  One 
solution is the following, although a better one might present itself:

src/edu/rice/cs/drjava
|- sub1
|- sub2

This is an important problem because most users who develop in 
Java using the recommended naming conventions will find 
themselves creating such non-branching strings of nested folders.
