Answer 1

You want to create a new child package (bar) of the existing package. (com.foo)

Select new package and name it "com.foo.bar". Eclipse will correctly place it under com.foo.

FYI: Folders under any "source" folder are shown as packages. There is no physical difference except that they appear on the build path. As shown elsewhere you can exclude them but it's easier to just not put them under /src/... to begin with.
