I don't know if Navigator/Javagator is intended to be productized for 4.0 as the code stands now, or if it'll be restructured for that release. But I figure I'd let you know what I've found after a while of using it. In general it's great. It's hard to live without it. 1) I've found that it's quite slow to open a new file. NetBeans hangs for a while, then recovers and all is well. During the hang I did a few dumps. Most of the classes are gj parsing with what looks like javagator initiating the parse. This is very annoying. 2) It doesn't show non-public classes in a file. These classes aren't typical, but used more often than I'd like in some codebases. 3) While the abbreviations seem like a great idea, I find that I just can't get used to them. I end up turning them off.
