I can confirm this is an issue. The Eclipse UI definitely permits it though, so I think it should be possible to do it as well.

I think this is just a matter of correctly configuring the APIs to allow this.
Similar to #2639 (comment) .

I'm inclined to close this as a duplicate of that, and we can address both aspects (inheriting method, inheriting fields) in a single improvement.

For me it's fine if we merge this issue with the other that you have mencioned, but that issue is almost two years old, altough is the same topic.
We can include this issue in the mencioned issue under the same name, but with a more generic name, like this issue

This should be fixed in pre-release and will be out in the 1.29.0 release. I think we still identified some issues worth fixing in eclipse-jdtls/eclipse.jdt.ls#3055 (review) but it should be possible to use inherited members in forming to toString declaration now.
