Description Adam Kiezun

Object is a supertype of any other type - also interfaces
it should be included in the type hierarchies

I would agree too.

Current API (e.g. javadoc of ITypeHierarchy.getSupertypes(IType)) implies that 
if the type is an interface, only interfaces that the interface extends are 
returned.
Asked on jdt-core-dev mailing list if there are advantages to changing this.

Post from Adam on jdt-core-dev:
Guys,
i did not mean it - but look like my suggestion  caused some trouble here
and there.
I do not feel strongly about it so if it is going to break somebody's code
(or world <g>)  then it's ok. from my side,
to leave it as is.

It just felt weird not to see Object when i asked an interface for its
supertypes, that's all.
a.
