I don't hope it's that bad! :-)

As a matter of fact I started out with an entry box. But since the
treeview offers the same functionality I deleted it again. The dialog
is not meant to be used for class searching. It is a "go to
class"-dialog. Searching for classes is better to put in the "Search
In Files"-dialog IMO. The list should be sorted of course. Just didn't
do it yet.

So to make this work I would have to change the editor add-in menu
items to place them around the ide menu item. Is this issue not a bit
problematic?
