RE: [cdt-dev] Things to bring CDT up to par with Eclipse 3.0/JDT

[Thomas Fletcher <ThomasF@xxxxxxx>]

I've submitted Bugzilla entries for the entries below as
indicated.  I didn't add in entries for everything since
some things were already covered by other entries.  As far
as I'm concerned, many of these items can go into the proposed
list, if only so that other people can see what kind of tasks
are on the table.

> - Add in support for sticky hovers.  Hovering is currently 
>   supported, but the stickyness of them (using the F2 key)
>   is not.

> - Support for Method Call Hierarchy view as presented in the JDT.  
>   This is a specialized view which, for a particular method selection,
>   shows the results of running a "Search for References".  As the 
>   user expands selections, then these selections are used in new 
>   searches slowly building up a call hierarchy. [See E3.0 M1 notes]
PR 48212
 
> - Related to the Method Call Hierarchy is the "Quick Type Hierarchy"
>   popup which can be called from the JDT editor.  When a method is
>   selected then all of the classes which implement this method (and 
>   their hierarchy) are shown. [See E3.0 M1 notes]

> - Add support for source code generation.  Initially support for

>   "Override methods" 
>   for C++ code and hanging it off the source menu.

> - Refactor the C/C++ Editor right click context menu selection to

>     code which is out of place.

> - Add support for "Documentation View".  This is a view which 
> shows the documentation information which is available for a selected
editor

> then presses F2 (Note F2 sticky option not yet implemented on the hovers).
