Finding Overridden Methods

You can discover which methods override the selected method.

1.

Open the type hierarchy for this method's type.

See Opening a Type Hierarchy on a Java Element

2.

Select to show the subtypes hierarchy.

Note: Choosing to show the supertype hierarchy instead of the subtype hierarchy allows you to see which method a class overrides.

3.

Ensure that the Lock View and Show Members in Hierarchy option is turned on (i.e., the button is pressed) in the list pane in the Hierarchy view.

This option locks the current class in the method pane and shows only those classes in the upper view that implement the currently-selected method of the locked class. You can tell this option is turned on if, after you select a method, the Hierarchy view's title bar indicates that the view is "Filtered".

4.

The methods of interest are shown in the upper pane. You can select any method and open it in an editor.

Note: The selection might not show all members if a filter is active.
