Description Ross Judson CLA 2003-10-21 13:39:01 EDT
On big classes the outline view doesn't do very much for you...you need to
scroll it up and down all the time, and while the filters help, they're not
really enough.

I'd like to see a general selection mechanism at the top, such as tabs (or
another widget if you prefer).  Each tab has a filter associated with it,
defined by regex and/or other means, and represents a given grouping.  

I can then set up regular expressions that can match on getters, setters,
constructors, or any other pattern.  A special tab might contain items not
attached to other tabs.  If I am looking for a getter, I can quickly click the
"Get" tab, and then choose the one I want.  

And if I was really asking for the Cadillac, I'd have special comments that I
could embed in the source that would dictate the groupings to use for that file.

Try Ctrl+O (and Ctrl+T) in the editor.
There are no plans to change the JavaOutlinePage.

Get rid of deprecated state.
