Find overriding methods for a specific method in Eclipse

Question

Is there an opportunity in Eclipse to see if and when yes which classes overrides a method?

For example:

class A { void sayHello() {}; } class B extens A { } class C extens A { void sayHello() { System.out.println("I am in class C"; } }

So, when I open class A in the editor and the method sayHello() is highlighted, I want to find out that class C overrides it.

You can use the Quick Type Hierarchy option (shortcut Ctrl+T) to find the types implementing/overriding a method of a class and go into their implementation.

Alternatively, pressing F4 should open type hierarchy, which is kind of similar.
