Looking for a cross-reference plugin [message #212532]

Hi,

I'm new to Eclipse. I could not find a plugin for cross-reference that
will allow me to do something like "go to definition of symbol" or "go to
references of symbol". Can anyone help with that? Is there anything
recommended?

Thanks,
Erez

Hi Erez,

I'm not sure if I understand what you mean, but when you need a
definition of some (e.g.) class you can:
- press CTRL+Shift+T and write the name of class you are looking for
- put the cursor on the name of the class and press F3
- press CTRL and click on the name of class

If you want to find all references of some field/class/method etc. just
put the cursor on the name (of method/class...) and press CTRL+Shift+G

Hope this helps :)

Thanks for the answer. However, this is not what I need. First, I'm using
only C (so no classes for me). What I want to do is:

put the mouse pointer on a symbol (variable, function etc), right-click
and select "go to definition". The file that contains the requested symbol
will be opened at the right place.

Another requested feature is "go to reference". It shows all references
for a specific symbol.

Thanks,
Erez

BTW - they have something similar in Visual SlickEdit & Visual Studio.
