See all super classes in Java

Question

Say you have a class A and a class B extends A and a class C extends B.

Is there any IDE or any sort of plug-in for any idea, where in the file C.Java, on line

Class C extends B

I can see something like ( and Class A ) for example like a tooltip or like a comment under the line?

In Eclipse, you can position the caret on the type name press F4 to see the type hierarchy. This will show the type path from Object to the indicated type name and all subtypes of that name.

You can use Ctrl-T to see quick class hierarchy popup. And while it is open, hitting Ctrl-T again will show you a reversed class hierarchy.

In IntelliJ IDEA hit Ctrl + H to open Class hierarchy pop-up. Another useful shortcut is Ctrl + Alt + U which will display UML diagram of the class in question.
