Description Greg Adams CLA 2002-01-28 14:58:28 EST 
Stable Build: 20020125

There are a number of occasions where it is useful to quickly see the inherited 
methods. Typically I look to being able to do that in the outline (since that's 
where my methods are visible). Unfortunately it seems the only way is to force 
the class to show up in the hierarchy view and then click the appropriate 
button. This is a bit awkward.

Thanks.

We have looked into this earlier. 
There is currently no support for the reconciling of type hierarchies and we 
don't have plan to add this for 2.0.

Reopening for 2.1 consideration

Comment 4 Dani Megert CLA 2004-01-29 09:11:54 EST 
This is now possible in the quick outline (Ctrl+O).
There are currently no plans to add this in the Outline view.

Get rid of deprecated state.
Comment 9 Stanislav Spiridonov CLA 2013-12-29 10:30:56 EST 
Please implement it It will be allow (IMHO) manage breakpoints for no overridden methods and default constructor. Now it is practically impossible to set breakpoint for such methods (e.g. for default toString()). 

It is paradox situation - I can call such methods for my class, but I can't set a breakpoint which will work only for my class.
Comment 10 Björn Michael CLA 2016-09-27 13:44:17 EDT 
How many votes are enough to get this enhancement done? At the moment I am forced to use quick outline in show inherited members state but I need a permanent view while writing source code.
Comment 11 Dani Megert CLA 2016-12-13 03:13:30 EST 
When adding this, we should also add the filter from bug 502843.
Comment 12 Till Schäfer CLA 2017-05-22 09:06:05 EDT 
this is one of the most wanted "standard" features on my side. please give this bug some attention.

Hi Developers, 

Please give this bug attention from your side. Since this feature of seeing all the inherited methods in the Outline view is very useful and is needed on a daily basis. 
One way around is typing "Ctrl+O" twice, but that's just for a quick view. We need to see the inherited methods in the Outline view panel. This feature is already there in other IDEs'. Please consider including this feature in the next release, as this is very useful and needed.
