call-hierarchy

I am using eclipse to write java code. If I'm debugging some code I can set a breakpoint and follow along as the code goes through each of the functions or I can backtrack. I can also look at the call hierarchy or the references to get an idea. But that's not enough. I would like to have a some sort of time-based visualization of what each thread is doing along the process from ... let's say "point A" (pressing a button on the interface) to "point B" (getting the result). I want to see which classes/methods were called in what order. I want a good way to visualize what kind of output is coming

One of my favorite features of Eclipse is the ability to open a caller/callee hierarchy of a method. By default, the view shows calls to/from classes that are outside of my codebase... which I don't usually care about. There is an option to filter out specific package names I don't want, but I need to do the opposite... to filter out all packages except the one I want. What is the appropriate regex to use here to "match all strings except those that start with com.mycompany. ?" It appears that "Filter Calls" uses glob syntax for filter patterns, not regular expressions. You can't specify

I want to write an eclipse plugin which can take a list of class names and return me a table of classes where they are being referenced in a given project. I was thinking if i can use eclipse cal hierarchy. But not sure how to invoke this command. could someone help me with this, Thanks in advance Have a look at the OpenCallHierarchyAction class of the org.eclipse.jdt.ui.internal.callhierarchy Package. This is internal Eclipse source code, but the code in the run(ITextSelection selection) method should be interesting to you. It sounds like you want something like References->Workspace (Control

Here is my sample java code: public class Test { public static void main(String[] args) { methodDepth0( ()-> methodDepth1( ()-> methodDepth2() ) ); } static Object methodDepth2() { return null; } interface MyIF { void call(); } static void methodDepth0(MyIF myIf){ myIf.call(); } interface MyIF2 { void call(); } static void methodDepth1(MyIF2 myIf2){ myIf2.call(); } } When I open call hierarchy of method methodDepth2() from Eclipse(4.4), open call hierarchy stop searching next caller: What I expect is like opening call hierarchy of method methodDepth1() which show until the main method.
