Description Adam Kiezun CLA 2002-09-17 11:53:34 EDT 
Object is a supertype of any other type - also interfaces
it should be included in the type hierarchies
Comment 1 Philipe Mulet CLA 2002-09-19 08:45:29 EDT 
I would agree too.
Comment 2 Jerome Lanneluc CLA 2002-09-30 07:09:53 EDT 
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.
