The Inspect Members and Hierarchy windows are meant to be pop up only transient windows. I don't agree because it's annoying e.g. to open several implementations of an interface - shall I write here all the steps one has to do? Another improvement could be to open hierarchy for class under the caret and not only for open document - so I suggest to reopen this issue and change it to enhancement. (please, try eclipse, press F4 on *any* class name under the caret in the opened file and you'll see the difference [btw eclipse shows both super- and subtypes as default and it remembers the last state] - i'm not saying that eclipse is correct but i'm saying that eclipse is much better) The Inpsect commands in the Go to menu in the Menu bar show the hierarchy of the class of file that is open or a .java file that is selected in the Project/Files window. There are Inspect commands in the editor pop up menu that show the information about the type under caret. HIE is going to provide separate key bindings for these. I need to ping Jano about it. Also there was some discussion about using distinct display labels for the actions in Go to menu and the editor pop up menu so that it is clear what they do. To me, it's close to impossible to use it because it isn't docked - each time I need to traverse the three and look more than one class of the hierarchy. So each time I need to open it again and again. Please see how it is done in C/C++: by default it is transient, but it has "dock" button. The way it was done in C/C++ isn't our fantasy, that's NetBeans HIE who worked on this first, and they spent quite a bit on that. In 7.3 the hierarchy window and inspect members are now topcomponents and are dockable (docked by default). * http://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=211784 (starting branch "java_hierarchy") * http://wiki.netbeans.org/UEXInspectMembersAndHierarchies You are right, this issue is fixed for NB 7.3. *** Bug 131715 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
