I cannot change the font size of package explorer in Eclipse

Increase project explorer tree view font size

If using Windows 7 or higher architecture, then reach to the eclipse home directory,
go inside of eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.ui.themes_X.X.X.vXXXXXXXX-XXXX\css directory,
find two css files which are "e4_default_gtk.css" and "e4_default_win.css",
open and add below said css script part in tail of above two files, save those and close accordingly,

.MPart Tree {
    font-family: Consolas;
    font-size: 14;
}

if eclipse is opened, restart, it all worked for me on eclipse oxygen.1a release version,

and hope on other OS type, you have to edit the same e4_default_gtk.css and other e4_default_os-type.css, thanks.

Go to Preferences → General → Appearance → Colors and Fonts, expand the "Basic" folder and select "Text Font" and change that to whatever size you like.

Pretty simple!
