Description Gary Gregory CLA 2002-08-19 20:39:10 EDT 
When you click in the code editor for a given class, that class is NOT selected 
in the Hierarchy pane. This behavior is *different* then the Types pane which 
does select the right class.

My custom perspective has a Packages pane, Hierarchy pane and a code editor 
pane. My packages pane is really a pane with a Packages Tab and a Projects Tab.
I really would like to work in this perspective but I am running into a lot of 
hickups.

Thank you.

There is a preference to control that behaviour: Java->Link Type Hierarchy 
View....

Please note that this only works if the type is present in the hierarchy. The 
reason is that building a type hierarchy is expensive. There are no plans to 
improve this for 2.x or 3.x.
