| <h1>Java search</h1> |
| |
| <p><span>The Java searching support allows you to find declarations, references and occurrences of Java elements |
| (packages, types, methods, fields). Searching is supported by an index that |
| is kept up to date in the background as the resources corresponding to Java elements are changed. |
| The Java search operates on workspaces independent of their build state. For |
| example, searches can be conducted when auto-build is turned off.</span></p> |
| |
| <p>The following searches can be initiated from the pop-up menus of Java elements:</p> |
| |
| <table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" summary="Java search actions"> |
| <thead> |
| <tr> |
| <td> |
| <p><span class="control">Command</span></p> |
| </td> |

| <tr> |
| <td valign="top"> |
| <p>References</p> |

| <p>The scope of the search is defined as:</p> |
| |
| <p><span class="control">Workspace</span> - all projects and files in the workspace are included in this search</p> |
| |
| <p><span class="control">Enclosing Projects</span> - the projects enclosing the currently selected elements</p> |
| |
| <p><span class="control">Hierarchy</span> - only the type hierarchy of the selected element is included in this search</p> |
| |
| <p><span class="control">Working Set</span> - only resources that belong to the chosen working set are included in this search</p> |
