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.
Design and implementation of user actions: Searching for: - method callers, - field users, - class inheritance hierarchy, - class instances.
Please also consider UI for the following additional navigation aids (assume user is working in explorer -- note that these are not listed in any particular order): 1. jump to implementation of the type of a field or the type returned by a method. 2. view all the methods (or fields) available in a class, both those implemented by the class, and those implemented by its superclasses; is also valuable to be able to see when a method is over- riding a method in superclass. 3. Jump to the definition of an interface which the current class implements. 4. show classes that implement the currently selected interface. All of the above navigations (as well as those listed in the Description section) should be done, if possible, without source code having to be shown in the source editor; so ideally navigation should be doable in the Explorer alone. Also note that once the product has good navigation support, many users will want to replay their steps forward and backward, with something like the Previous / Next functionality, as we see in web browsers.
Implemented.
