Description Simon Archer CLA 2002-12-29 20:25:21 EST
While selecting a package and pressing F4 (or choose Navigate > Open type 
hierarchy...) to open a hierarchy view is a wonderful feature, a useful 
improvement would be the ability to select more that one package.

This feature would be useful when wanting to study related package together.  
An example I ran across recently was where I wanted to study the package 
java.nio.channels and the related package java.nio.channels.spi, but could only 
open a hierarchy view on a single package.

The same enhancement could be applied to any selection that can be the subject 
of a hierarchy view, such as a project, source folder or type.

This is a good suggestion, but given the current schedule this will not be 
addressed in 2.1. Currently the type hierarchy assumes that the input element 
is an IJavaElement and not an array of IJavaElements.

Should be reconsidered for > 2.1
Comment 2 Simon Archer CLA 2009-08-19 10:26:22 EDT
This feature would still be nice to have.
