Hi,

How to search a particular method definition and all the place it is called
within the entire project space? It is easy in C code to search all
relavent
code within src and lib dir. How to do the same thing in Eclipse?
Seemingly
the same name is everywhere in java dir, jsp dir and configuration dir,
etc..
Very confused.
Thanks

Highlight a method and select "References > Workspace" from the pop-up
menu. It's pretty smart; it doesn't just do a text match, it uses
context to look for senders of that actual method.
