No. We only really maintain class categories in Dolphin for backwards
compatibility (and a few miscellaneous uses), and consequently we provide
only minimal tool support for these.

Having said that, I don't think it would be too much of a challenge to
implement, since the browsers in Dolphin are highly componentised, and it
would mostly be a matter of replacing the "class selection" component, which
is a PackagedClassSelector in the case of the system browser.

But why?

Because we found we hardly ever used them. The allocation of classes to
categories always seemed pretty arbitrary to us. We regarded the idea of a
system browser that grouped classes based on package to be much more useful.
