hi..

is there a plugin i can use that would allow me to specify every place that a certain class maybe place in a set?

a very smart search, i'm changing the implementation of equals and hashcode and i would like to find the side-effects

You could right-click over the method you're trying to check and select "References" > "Project" (or "Workspace").
That will search for all references in a project or workspace.

That also works for classes and variables.

yea i know about that, but would yield a rather large amount of results, i would like to know if i can search for a class which is used with another classes, let's say i would like to see if a certain type of class is placed inside a set. essentially the JDT tree, has this data. so far i've only found something like codechase.

"inside a set" a little bit vague... a sample of the code pattern you're searching for would be helpful...
If you are lucky, may be it will be already handle by the Match locations dialog (open the Java Search dialog and click on the 'Match locations' in the 'Limit to' group)

plugin, however it only results in method signatures not, the actuall paramters.

Hi Elhanan,

I guess Intellij IDEA structural search and replace it what you are
looking for: http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/documentation/ssr.html

However, I'm afraid it is not available in the community edition.

Regards,
Sebastian
