When the user needs to navigate to the source class representing the runtime type of a variable or field, there is no other way then remember the name from the tooltip (or select it from the type column in Local Variables window) and use the "Go To Class" feature to find the source. This is not really straightforward, and requires extra searching if the class is an inner class or if there are more classes of the same name in the system. Some better support from the debugger in this area is desired...
It'd be handy if the Type column have some "Go To Source" action.
http://plugins.netbeans.org/PluginPortal/faces/PluginDetailPage.jsp?pluginid=2756 supports: Go to Type (Runtime) Go to Declared Type
Implemented by changeset: 252047:db80890d0b89 On Fields "Go to Source" was renamed to "Go to Declaration" to prevent from confusion. On variables representing an object, "Go to Type Source" action is added.
