Feature Request: Expanded support for graph/table views about glance HOT 2 OPEN

Hey Jonathan,

We already have this support. You need to index hidden content first and there is a button "Index component" on the glance panel. You can even enable auto indexing on the glance preference page.

However you need to be careful with this feature. Some components can be too deep. For example few plugins in your Package Explorer hide all classes/methods of all system jars and standard plugins. Most likely your eclipse hasn't enough memory to index all this stuff. Therefore we have one more option on the preference page - "max indexing depth for trees" which equals to 4 by default.

You can play with all these options to find the best for your needs.

Yuri, this is great -- thanks! I didn't figure this about because it looks like the index button disappears randomly. Here is a test case to reproduce:

1. Open Debug perspective
2. Click on Variables view / tab
3. Open Glance
4. Notice the index button is visible in the Glance panel
5. Click on the Java perspective
6. Notice the index button disappears
7. Click on a package or file -- still no index button
8. Click in the space where the index button should be and it refreshes properly

Tested on Helios SR2 20110218-0911
