aha. the default behavior would be that sources in a project would have 
everything parsed and resources would only have public methods and 
fields parsed with the user free the change that per source/java root 
and resource as they wish.

if i understand you're intention here, it may not be desirable at all to 
let the user change what is parsed from sources since it would put the 
ide into a state likely to cause a lot of head scratching -and i agree. 
does anyone have a problem with removing the ability to change what is 
parsed from sources (leaving it in place for resources)?
