Description Michael Trompertz CLA 2002-02-12 04:38:33 EST
Is it possible to show the implemented interface(s) of a class in the
outline window similar to the imported classes?
Comment 1 Erich Gamma CLA 2002-02-12 04:58:03 EST
this is currently not supported and has low priority for 2.0
Comment 2 Erich Gamma CLA 2002-02-27 08:54:20 EST
We did a planning roll-up and this feature will not make it into 2.0. Changing 
to LATER.
Comment 3 Dirk Baeumer CLA 2002-07-25 06:10:29 EDT
You can select the class and press F4 to see that class in the hierarchy. There 
are no plans to fix this for 2.1
Comment 4 Dirk Baeumer CLA 2002-09-02 06:49:20 EDT
Reopening for closing
Comment 5 Dirk Baeumer CLA 2002-09-02 06:50:10 EDT
No plans to fix this for 2.x and 3.x since the Outliner shows the structure of 
a CU. The type hierarchy can be used to see the implemented interfaces.
Comment 6 Scott A. Colcord CLA 2003-06-17 17:08:36 EDT
I'd like to suggest reopening this bug.  It would be very helpful for me (and
others, I suspect) to be able to not only easily see which interfaces a class
implements, but also to sort its methods by the interface they're contained within.

The type hierarchy shows the interfaces, but doesn't permit grouping of methods
by interface.

I would also suggest that even if there are no plans to provide this in 2.x or
3.x, the bug should remain open; it still represents a desired capability. 
Better to leave it open, even if assigned to "nobody@eclipse.org".

Comment 7 Erich Gamma CLA 2003-06-20 08:47:26 EDT
In 2.1 the type hierarchy is now supporting to group methods by interface. Use 
the "sort methods by defining type" toggle in the type hierarchy view.

Doesn't this cover your request.
