Right-click within the Projects window in NetBeans IDE 7.2 and from the "View Java Packages As" menu, you can now choose "Reduced Tree".

I never really understood the difference between "Reduced Tree" and the already existing "Tree". But it makes sense when you see it. Here's Reduced Tree view:

And here's Tree view, where you can see that the "actions" and "nodes" packages above each have their own top level package nodes, which takes up more space than the above:

What's cool is that your selected package view is persisted across restarts of the IDE.

To be complete, here's the List view, which is the third option you have in the "View Java Packages As" menu:

Seems to me like the new Reduced Tree view combines the best of the Tree view with the best of the List view!
