Beginnings of new Java Navigation module for NetBeans 6.0

Happy 2007 to all!

I have checked in the initial version of Java Navigation module for Netbeans 6.0. It is NB6.0 analog of my Java File Structure module for NB5.5. The difference is that in the new module there are separate actions to show structure of current file vs the structure of type under the caret in the editor. Also it shows the generics in a better way. I also plan to merge the Java Type Hierarchy module's functionality into this module also.

Java Navigation

You can browse the sources here:

http://www.netbeans.org/source/browse/contrib/JavaNavigation/

For now you will have to build the module yourself. May be you can use that as an opportunity to get and build NB6.0. I will post the NBM sometime in near future.

I am exploring the possibility of incorporating this (in some form) in NB6.0.

I am looking forward to all the cool things to become available in NB6.0.

Maybe you could experiement also a little with coloring, so you can see the important things faster. Such as: method names could be solid, generics lightgrey, aso. You could just copy the coloring style von nb6.0. Currently its a bit of a 'bracketmess'... I like the module though, very much :) Keep doing great works!
