#67 "Go to definition" in source

[Charles Reis]

Many editors have a "Go to definition" action for
fields and methods, which brings up the code where the
field or method is defined. It might be possible to
add this without adding too much overhead or full text
parsing, maybe using the line numbers in the classfile
(if the class has been compiled). This probably
depends on a refactoring of the reduced model as well,
with more advanced syntax analysis (detecting the
defining instance).

This is a frequently requested feature, and we'd like to
address it relatively soon. I'll raise the priority on it.

Eric Knapp pointed out a tool called "ctags" which can
quickly index a source file to easily find the definitions
and uses of methods, etc. However, it's written in C, so
it's not ideal for directly integrating into DrJava. It is
open source, so perhaps we can find a Java equivalent (or
write one ourselves).
