Is it possible to show superclass outline in the outline view? [message #132494]

For example:

[-] SubClass
[-] SuperClass
[+] SuperClassOfSuperClass
SuperClass method
SuperClass method
SubClass method
SubClass method that overrides super class method
SubClass method

Currently I can only see the methods of current class (and its inner
classes) in the CompilationUnitEditor.

Do people think this is worthwhile feature?
Is there alternate view which shows similar info?

Do you mean to redesign Hierarchy View
or
combine it with the Outline View?

The hierarchy view only shows the classes and interfaces.

I was suggesting showing methods and fields of superclasses
(as they are shown in the "Show the Supertype Hierarchy")
in the outline view. That way I can see where the super methods
are implemented, for example. Or I can see inherited public methods
for that matter.

May be it does not belong in the Outline view (which is a outline of file
content).
May be there needs to be a different view called Type view which shows the
complete signature (including inherited) of a Java Type.

The hierarchy already shows the methods for the selected class in the
hierarchy. Select a class in the tree and the methods are shown in the
window directly below the tree. One of the buttons on that window's
title bar also will allow turning on showing of the inherited
methods/fields too, and who implements it.

All this stuff is really a one (big?) issue:
Query approach to the View.

Hope, Eclipse will recognize this better than Sun and Microsoft.

Is JQuery what you're talking about?

I have not seen JQuery in details yet.
But 'm afraid, Eclipse should implement something like it.
