In Eclipse, How to sort methods by class during auto-complete?

Question

In Eclipse, you can press period after an object to see its methods and the methods it inherited from its super-classes. Is there a way, (keyboard shortcut during auto-complete or otherwise) that allows you to organize the methods by class, (this, super, super's super)? This would help find methods specific to this subclass much faster.

Answer 1

Not that i know.

Go to Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Editor -> Content Assist.

There you should see an option "Sort proposals" where the only options are "by relevance" and "alphabetically".

You may use the Type Hierarchy. Not a real solution to what you'd like to have but the closest approach I could tell.

Answer 2

It's impossible :(
