This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
Currently when the "Override and Implement Methods" dialog is displayed it defaults to not "Show Superclasses and Interfaces" not "Show Abstract Methods Only". "Generate Super Calls" not "Copy Javadoc" That's fine when working on simple classes that are 2 or 3 generations removed from Object. But when working with Swing, the lightest class has an ancestry of java.lang.Object (4 methods), java.awt.Component (130+), java.awt.Container (50+), and javax.swing.JComponent (100+). That's 180+ lines of display. Working with UI classes almost always requires selecting "Show Superclasses and Interfaces" to make the list manageable. But, then the tree defaults to fully expanded requiring yet more clicking to collapse the branches. Please add preferences that will allow defaults for the 4 checkboxes on this dialog. Plus an additional preference for whether to expand or collapse tree nodes when "Show Superclasses and Interfaces" is selected.
This feature was changed in upcoming 6.0, please, try some of the latest builds, to check if was UI fullfills your requirements. If not then update this issue. Thanks.
