Introducing two Eclipse plugins: implementors & Call Hierarchy This article describes two two utility plug-ins in the Eclipse debugging and tracing process they can both be in http:// eclipse-tools.sourceforge.net/? Download the site also contains two additional items, as well as an Eclipse reference Card.
------------------------------------------------------------------
One: implementors
Plug-in functionality: When locating and locating a class in eclipse, you can choose to navigate directly to the interface or to the implementation of the interface.
Use method: Select the class (interface) or Class (interface) method, right-click, select Openinterface, direct to the interface, select Openimplementation, direct to the implementation class, if there is more than one implementation class will appear a selection box, select a specific implementation class.
Plugin Introduction:
The Implementors plugins add the possibility to the theimplementation of a interface. Alternatively, you can jump tothe interface of an implementation.
The jumping to Implementation/interface works for plain javafiles. In addition, when associating EJB deployment Descriptorswith a project, the plugin is made aware of the connection between The EJB interfaces and the implementation class, something which isnot specified in the implementation class itself.
The plugin is a very useful plugin. Here's a link that shows you how to use it: http://dev2dev.bea.com.cn/bbsdoc/20060124188.html
PS. Eclipse Right-click menu has two options, Open Type hierarchy/quicktype Hierarchy,? function is similar to this plugin, it seems that this feature has been integrated into eclipse.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Two: Call Hierarchy
Call Hierarchy Plug-in: Shows the invocation hierarchy of a method, from which it can be seen which methods are called, and what methods it calls, and is a useful tool for code tracing. This feature has also been integrated in the Eclipse3.1.
