Code Crusader displays the entire inheritance tree, while the kdevelop
class browser just shows the classes within the project in flat form,
without showing their relationships. Kdevelop's graphical class view
shows inheritance but it doesn't give you access to the class methods - it
doesn't even offer functionality to display them. When it comes to
multiple inheritance, the graphical class view fails completely.
Multiple inheritance is shown as multiple single inheritance trees,
which is somewhat confusing because you'll find a single class multiple
times at different places within the graphical class view.

The main difference between Crusader's and kdevelop's class browser is
in short, that in Crusader you are working with your actual object models
(restricted to the "simple" functionality of a class browser of course)
while in kdevelop you are just working with single (and according to the
view independent) classes.

True, unfortunately :-( But on the other hand there were no real important
changes in the class browser since the last GPL version of Code Crusader,
so the "old" stuff will still work.

Regards,
Juergen
