| <h1> |
| Conducting a Java search using pop-up menus |
| </h1> |
| <p> |
| Open the context menu on any Java element visible in a view. |
| </p> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| Search, Outline, and Hierarchy views: The selected Java element in these views can be searched for declarations and references. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Package Explorer: Packages, Java compilation units, types and their members can be searched for declarations and references. |
| If a compilation unit or CLASS file contains |
| more than one type, a dialog prompts you to choose one. |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| The search pop-up menu is also available in the Java editor. If the selection in the Java editor can be resolved to a Java element, |
| then you can search for declarations and references. |
| <p> |
| To conduct a search from a pop-up menu, follow these steps: |
| </p> |
| <ol> |
| <li> |
| Select a Java element (for example a Java compilation unit in the Package Explorer or a method in the Outline view) or some text in a Java editor. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| From the selection's pop-up menu, navigate to the available Java searches. After you select a search to perform, the search progress is shown in a dialog. Note: in the |
| editor searches are available under the <strong><strong>Search</strong></strong> submenu. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| You may stop the search process by clicking <strong><strong>Cancel</strong></strong> in the progress dialog. |
| </li> |
| </ol> |
| <p> |
| The type of the selected Java element defines which search pop-up menus are available. The Java editor does not constrain the list of available Java searches based on the |
| selection. |
