Description dmiller 2007-06-04 14:22:20 UTC 
Currently when the "Override and Implement Methods" dialog is displayed it
defaults to
  not "Show Superclasses and Interfaces" 
  not "Show Abstract Methods Only".
      "Generate Super Calls"
  not "Copy Javadoc"

That's fine when working on simple classes that are 2 or 3 generations removed
from Object. But when working with Swing, the lightest class has an ancestry of
java.lang.Object (4 methods), java.awt.Component (130+), java.awt.Container
(50+), and javax.swing.JComponent (100+). That's 180+ lines of display. Working
with UI classes almost always requires selecting "Show Superclasses and
Interfaces" to make the list manageable. But, then the tree defaults to fully
expanded requiring yet more clicking to collapse the branches.

Please add preferences that will allow defaults for the 4 checkboxes on this
dialog. Plus an additional preference for whether to expand or collapse tree
nodes when "Show Superclasses and Interfaces" is selected.

This feature was changed in upcoming 6.0, please, try some of the latest builds,
to check if was UI fullfills your requirements. If not then update this issue.
