Build 20011219 When I open the hierarchy on a class or interface which has many subtypes, it takes a long time to open, and expands the whole hierarchy. The hierarchy expansion is pretty flashy, and causes visual clutter. I would prefer it to only expand one level of subtypes. If this could speed up the time to open, that would be even better.
When opening a type in the type hierarchy it supertypes and its children should be expanded only. This will result in some speed-up since less items are created, but internally the full type hierarchy is computed at once. The flash is due to selecting and revealing a class once the hierarchy is opened. We should investigate whether bracketing the refresh setRedraw (true/false) would help.
A good test case is to open the hierarchy on Object, relax and watch the type hierarchy work and scroll for almost a minute...
implemented the following strategy > 20109 supertypes-view: expand all suptypes-view: expandToLevel(2) in normal mode, level(3) in filter mode hierarchy-view: when focus on type: height of hierarchy from Object to focus type + 2 in filter mode: heigth + 3 when focus on package / root or project: 2 in filter mode: 3
