I wanted to override DefaultTableModel.getColumnClass(). The dialog opened up with DefaultTableModel expanded, but the getColumnClass() method is in AbstractTableModel. I didn't realize that and just typed "getColumnClass" trying to quicky select the method. Finally I realized I had to expand AbstractTableModel and select the method there. The dialog should not force me to know where in the inheritance hierarchy is the method I want to override. I just want a list of a methods logically defined in the current class. I guess the current approach probably has some advantages. Then please introduce something like [x] View Inheritance Tree or [o] Sort by Name [o] Sort by Defining Class at the top of the dialog.
Just for record: Nice way how to avoid this is to invoke code completion between methods.
I agree with the reporter. The override should rather be consistent with codecompletion way of doing it.
Using NetBeans 7.2, you can select the wished item via keyboard. BUT the selection/filter only applies to currently opened treenodes. PROPOSAL: When starting to filter the tree should fully expanded before. Then it should work.
