Let us say you want to create file1.java in package src/package1 but it is not showing in workspace.
So go to package src/package1/package2 and create a new file with name file1.java but give the package name src.package1 inside this file.It will automatically create file1.java in src/package1 folder and this package will start be showing in workspace. for more information you can refer to http://www.coderanch.com/t/633775/java/java/eclipse-package-exists

The reason you can't see src/package1 is probably package presentation setting is set to flat. It will only display the packages that with files.

To change presentation, left click the arrow icon on your project explorer, change Package Presentation into Hierarchical.
