| <ul> |
| <li>Type: the type name (may be qualified or not).<br> |

| <ul> |
| <li><i>org.eclipse.jdt.internal.core.JavaElement</i></li> |
| <li><i>MyClass.Inner</i></li> |
| <li><i>Foo</i></li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| <li>Method: the defining type name (may be qualified or not as for Type search, optional), the method selector and its parameters (optional).<br> |
| <i>Examples:</i> |
| <ul> |
| <li><i>org.eclipse.jdt.internal.core.JavaElement.getHandleFromMemento(MementoTokenizer, WorkingCopyOwner)</i></li> |
| <li><i>equals(Object)</i></li> |
| <li><i>foo</i></li> |

| </li> |
| <li>Package: the package name for a package (e.g. org.eclipse.jdt.internal.core)</li> |

| <ul> |
| <li><i>org.eclipse.jdt.internal.core.JavaElement(JavaElement, String)</i></li> |
| <li><i>Foo</i></li> |
| </ul> |
| Note that the constructor name should not be entered as it is always the same as the type name. |
| </li> |
