How to find links pointing to document [message #1047515]

Hi there,

in my company, we would like to get rid of FrontPage and use Eclipse with WTP instead (for integration reasons and because FrontPage is not maintained any more).

However, one K.O. criterion is to be able to select a document and find all html-pages, which have a link referencing this document.
This was possible in FrontPage and I cannot believe that it is too difficult to do, but I could not find this feature in Eclipse, yet.

Is there an implementation or a workaround to achieve this? Is there an easy way to add this feature to Eclipse?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Arne

If all your HTML pages are part of the Eclipse project, then you can do
a file search:

Search/ File...

If you select the document name, then it will be copied into the Search
field

To find only links, then you will need a bit of Regular Expression
code.

I think there was something like that provided in IBM's Websphere Developer Tools for Eclipse (check the Marketplace). Our own efforts to build in validation of hyperlinks ran afoul of deployment scenarios we couldn't fully account for and had to be disabled, lest the Problems view be flooded with false messages.
