It's a good point. I have often heard users complain about the excessive
nesting in NB's view. Who wants to expand several levels of nodes? I would
vote to at least have an option to (1) skip the category nodes like Fields
(could still sort all fields together, maybe); (2) put members of the
top-level class directly beneath the data node: 99% of all Java classes do not
have more than one top-level class, this is an ugly 1.0-ism which NetBeans
does not even support by default anyway, and it is annoying to have to expand
the outer class node just to see its members, even if this is logically
correct.

Isn't this the same as issue 6992?
Comment 2 Jesse Glick 2002-01-12 14:47:02 UTC
