Description Lee Breisacher

I go to a particular package in the Package Explorer, right click and 
choose "Open Type Hierarchy". All the concrete classes show up in the resulting 
type hierarchy view, but the interfaces do not. I would really like to see ALL 
the classes in the package show up - both concrete and interfaces. Thanks.

This is impossible with a tree viewer since including interface results in a 
graph. There are no plans to provide a graph view in the type hierarchy for 2.1.
Tagged as help wanted.

Uh, I don't quite understand. If I select an interface and do "Open Type 
Hierarchy", it works fine. So eclipse CAN show an interface in a type 
hierarchy. Hmm, but in that case it shows the concrete classes that implement 
the interface as sub-nodes of the interface node in the tree. So, I guess I see 
the problem - the same concrete classes would be in two different places in the 
tree at the same time. Not fun. Well, how about this then:  I would be happy if 
just the interfaces showed up the hierarchy WITHOUT showing the concrete 
implementing classes as subnodes. In fact, usually when I want to see an 
interface in a hierarchy, I don't really care about seeing the concrete 
implementing clases - I just want to see the hierarchy of the interfaces 
themselves. Would that be possible? Thanks!

I would also like to see this (too bad Eclipse doesn't use
Bugzilla's "vote for a bug" feature) and was just going to file this as a bug.
Found this, mine would have been a duplicate.

But isn't this a duplicate of bug 10613?
