I have to track the flow of execution in eclipse

Question

I know how to debug in eclipse, but I want to know an effective way of finding the flow of execution from a method.

E g:

class A
{
    method S()
    {}

    method S1()
    {
        B.SS()
    }

    method S2() 
    {
        A.S1()
    }
}

class B
{
    method SS()
    {    
        A.S()
    }

    method SS1()
    {
        B.SS2()
    }

    method SS2()
    {
        A.S2()
    }
}

Given these two classes, how can I trace the flow of the methods from A.S2() to A.S() other than debugging?

Answer 1

CTRL + ALT + H shows you the call hierarchy for a method. Perhaps that's what you wanted.

So it you highlight a method and click CTRL + ALT + H, it shows, in the Call Hierarchy window, all the methods the call that method, and for each of those methods, all the methods that call them, and so on ...
