Description Jean-Noel Rouvignac

Build Identifier: 20100617-1415

I have the following use case: I am looking for a particular implementations of org.apache.commons.collections.Predicate.evaluate() for which I only remember part of the name. We have plenty of implementations for the Predicate interface.

I would like to be able to use my knowledge of the name to only keep in the view (filter in) the implementations whose class name matches this name fragment. Currently, it is only possible to remove from the view (filter out) the implementations whose class name do not match.

Reproducible: Always

Did you see the text box at the top of the popup that initially has keyboard focus? That's exactly what you're looking for (shows only matching types).

Waiting for bug 325565 or bug 325564 to make the filter field easier to spot.
