Description

### Description

in our company we use a system of project templates that create some packages present in every project. while I want/need them on classpath (thus can't mostly delete them), I would like to hide them from view. In the screenshot below everything that start with `au.com.foxtel.bedrock`

hiding such packages would clear up the view and allow me to orient myself better in codebases.

Research direction

No file or test is named in the issue. Start by locating the NetBeans Projects view implementation and tracing how Java packages are presented; done means packages matching a user-selected pattern remain on the classpath but are hidden from that view, with coverage for the requested prefix behavior.
