Build ID: I20080617-2000 Steps To Reproduce: I would like different sorting in the outline view. Currently constructors are fixed to the top and overloaded methods with more parameters are listed below those with less parameters. Since I am more or less strictly following the "used methods must be defined above the using methods" paradigm (including constructors), I would prefer the configure the outline view to put constructors to the bottom (where they are in my code) and overloaded methods with more parameters listed above those with less parameters, since the ones with less parameters will just forward to (call the) ones with more parameters. And if I have two methods like this: public void setThePoint( int x, int y ) { this.x = x; this.y = y; } public final void setThePoint( Point p ) { setThePoint( p.x, p.y ); } The method with the Point parameter will always call the one with the primitive parameters and hence must be noted below the primitive method. It would be very cool, if I could configure the Outline view like this. Thanks in advance and sorry, if this is the wrong place to report it. Marvin More information:
You can at move constructors to the end, see Java > Appearance > Members Sort Order.
(In reply to comment #1) > You can at move constructors to the end, see Java > Appearance > Members Sort > Order. > Thanks. This solves one point of my proposal. Do I get it right, that "static initializers" are static methods, that more or less just call one of the constructors and return the result? Marvin
