New issue 844 by tu...@tudorgirba.com: Moose Finder should let one browse the implementing method of a navigation item http://code.google.com/p/moose-technology/issues/detail?id=844
When browsing one entity, the first tab shows the navigation items from this entity. Especially for newbies it is important to see how these navigation methods are implemented.
Thus, the contextual menu should offer the possibility to browse the corresponding methods.
For example, when browsing a class, selecting the invoked methods should offer a menu item that opens a browser on FAMIXType>>invokedMethods.

My humble opinion: Not too sure about this one.
I agree it can be useful to discover the in-ad-out of the moosePanel, but I guess very few people will want to do it and only power users.
Adding a menu entry for this can be more confusing than other things no?

I am actually not adding menu items easily, but this one I think is worth it.
Moose is programmers, not for clickers (tm). The platform is meant to be extended by programmers, and examples is the best way to do it. I have gave several Moose trainings to beginners (even Smalltalk beginners), and all of them asked for this ability.
During analysis, sometimes you need the fine details of what a certain analysis means. This browsing ability acts like a help.
Anyway, it is available now :).
It is currently placed in the Utilities menu next to "Browse implementation class" item which is essentially in the same complexity layer.
