Object Teams Type Hierarchy
The Object Teams type hierarchy provides the following features
(in addition to the features of the standard JDT
type hierarchy view):
Type hierarchy tree:
- shows supertype/subtype hierarchy of Object Teams types (team classes,
role classes)
- shows full role type hierarchy incl. implicit inheritance
- displays Object Teams specific icons for team classes, role classes and
method bindings
Member list (method viewer):
- shows methods in hierachy
- shows implicitly inherited methods
- shows method bindings
- shows inherited method bindings
Opening a type hierarchy on the current text selection
To open a type hierarchy on a text selection, select the name of an Object Teams element
or Java element in the editor or package explorer and do one of the following:
- Press F4
- select Open Type Hierarchy from the package explorer's pop-up menu
Note: If the selected Object Teams element or Java element is not a type or a
compilation unit, the hierarchy opens on the type enclosing the current selection.

Role hierarchy:
Note, that for roles, the super types are not restricted to a linear chain, but due to combination
of explicit and implicit inheritance (OTJLD §1.3.1 )
a role may have multiple supers. E.g., in the picture, HierarchyDisplayImpl.CompositeNode
explicitly inherits from HierarchyDisplayImpl.Node
and implicitly
inherits from HierarchyDisplay.CompositeNode
