When I’m using Eclipse i work with lots of Java classes (especially when working with abstract factory design pattern) and I need a way to visually group classes belonging together (different classes extended or implemented from interfaces get mixed together).
I need a way to group classes that extend the same class or implement the same interface so I don’t lose my mental health. I started using Eclipse and Java few day ago, so I’m sure I’m missing something to do what i need…
Have you organized your classes in packages? This is precisely what packages are for. If you organize them in packages, you’ll have a nice view of the classes belonging together in the Eclipse Package Explorer.
