User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/4.2) KHTML/4.2.2 (like Gecko) Build Identifier: 3.5 Bug 215139 tries to bring more options to hierarchy scopes in order to support searching for subtypes of a given type only. This was requested in the context of bug 61185 in order to provide a type selection dialog for subtypes of a given type. One proposed solution (bug 215139 comment 35 f.) requires that in addition to changes to the hierarchy scope, also clients would have to pass a slightly different requestor. Thus I'm opening this bug to ask if this little change can be adapted into the JDT/UI (patch to be uploaded in a second). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Background is discussed in bug 215139, but if needed, I can of course explain why specifically this change would help. Note that bug 61185 (opened more than 5 years ago ;-) currently has a half-cooked solution. Bug 215139 which tries to provide that help to fully resolve bug 61185 is dragging for some time now. It seems with the help of the little patch to JDT/UI, we could actually make some progress.
Yeah, with the new bigzilla forms we have to live with all this noise: Build Identifier: 3.5 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: no way I could delete those :-/
Created attachment 146626 [details] proposed patch And here's the patch. Actually the same as I attached to bug 215139 comment 37
The patch looks good and I have no problem committing this if bug 215139 does not resolve the problem in 3.6. However, bug 215139 is still real, and I'd prefer the inconsistencies to be fixed in the jdt.core API. When releasing this, also explain the hack in the code and link to this bug.
No longer needed since bug 215139 is going for the core-only solution.
