Programmatically find references to a method or constant? [message #511390]

Is there a way for me to programmatically find references to a method or constant?

For example, in Eclipse you can right-click on a class or method or a constant, and choose 'References'. Eclipse will then search out and give you all the references to the selected thing.

I want to do this programmatically via a Junit so I can start finding unused constants/methods in our 10 year old project.

Please point me in the right direction.

Thanks,

See org.eclipse.jdt.core.search.SearchEngine but note that it only finds
references to constants defined in source.
