In eclipse there are two views. If I view the package explorer then Referenced Libraries folder is there. And if i select the project explorer view than Referenced folder is not there. What is the difference between Project Explorer and Package Explorer.

Package Explorer is the original navigator for basic Java projects. Project Explorer came along later to provide a more extensible view for layered Java technologies, such as Java EE and other languages.

The content is organized a bit differently in the two views, so it will take a bit of getting used to in order to make a transition. Eventually, the Package Explorer view will be phased out.
