Description Eric Dillon CLA 2010-11-19 14:25:15 EST 
There is currently no way to visualize all the attributes defined on a given artifacts, only locally defined attributes can be visualized, not all of the inherited attributes.

A possible solution is to display them (grey-ed out?) in the corresponding editor. Maybe this is something can be switched on/off in the editor itself to avoid polluting the view when not needed.
Comment 1 Navid Mehregani CLA 2010-11-19 14:35:21 EST 
Once bug#328441 is implemented, it'll make this "easier".  User can simply click on a link to visit the parent artifact and view the attributes in there.  However, I do agree that it would be useful to show all the inherited/local attributes in a single list.
Comment 2 Chris Hartley CLA 2010-11-23 00:47:35 EST 
So you can do this currently in Tigerstripe.

Go to the Java perspective and select a class.

Right-click and choose Open Type Hierarchy (F4).
This opens a hierarchy explorer where you can traverse the hierarchy see the inherited attributes.

Ideally, you wouldn't want to use JDT tools for your modeling work.  Tigerstripe should provide all the tools necessary to properly navigate your model.
Comment 4 Chris Hartley CLA 2010-11-23 17:29:38 EST 
Agreed, but perhaps this functionality can be used or extended in Tigerstripe (no need to code it all from scratch ?)

Done.

Valentin's patch applied.
Comment 7 Navid Mehregani CLA 2011-01-17 11:22:00 EST 
Looks great! Thank you!  There is only one thing missing: Can we also display the methods of an implemented Session Facade? 

Consider the following:

S1 is a session facade with two methods defined
Ent1 is an entity implementing S1

Can we display the methods of S1 in Ent1's editor?
