Hierarchy Type Only From JDK

In Eclipse, I often like to find more specific subclasses of Exception - for example, I open a hierarchy of IOException or IllegalArgumentException types.

I see a complete hierarchy

  • Jdk
  • Wireframes
  • Libraries that are indirectly used.

I have to decide which exception can compare better. Very often, I find an exception that fits my needs, but is not part of the JDK.

Question:

Is it possible to reduce the hierarchy in JDK libraries or just a package?

Currently, the type hierarchy can be limited only to projects (including their dependencies) from the selected working sets.

Therefore, the only workaround that comes to my mind is to create a Java project that serves as a filter, and then create and select a working set that just contains this project.

You can do this to see only JDK exception types:

Open the "Quick Type Hierarchy" (CTRL - T in the class name) and use the name filter. Then enter *java. and only exceptions from the java package will be shown.
