Hi Francesco,

There used to be a handy tool for assembling all the different classes 
in a project into a class hierarchy.  This code was problematic so was 
eventually deleted.

There is something similar in the CEDET COGRE tool called 
"cogre-uml-quick-class" which has logic to do something similar, but it 
is a much better and simpler bit of code.  That logic could be the basis 
of something for an ECB or speedbar display.

It might be good to start with a function that creates a nested list in 
tree form for the classes you are interested in.  Once you have that, 
creating displays in ECB or Speedbar are both documented in the 
respective tools.  I'm a bit partial to speedbar, and ECB can embed 
speedbar, so that's nice.

Does that help?
Eric
