Is there a way to annotate methods that are overridden in subclasses? [message #798381]

I am looking for a way to see in the eclipse java editor that a method has been overridden in one or more subclasses at a glance. Too often I forget to hit ctrl-t on methods to see if there are any.

Does such a feature exist?

No, this would be too expensive.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that it would be exensive. I had hoped that an indicator that it is overridden somewhere in the project and not maintaining links to those overridden methods would have been reasonable.

Will it still be too expensive with the computing power we will have in 18 months? Smile
