how do I find elusive dependencies? (e.g., org.eclipse.core.runtime.preferences) [message #259550]

I'm trying to track down all the dependencies for doing this:

import org.eclipse.ui.editors.text.*;

TextEditor te = new TextEditor();

I can't locate the package org.eclipse.core.runtime.preferences

because it isn't in a self-titled jar, but is contained in some other jar
file. Does anyone have any suggestions for how to find _which_ jar file it
is in fact located in?

Thanks,
Ryan

This might be the answer.

Select Navigate > Open Type in Hierarchy...

type in the name of the class you are looking for.

right click on it when it appears with its hierarchy

select Implementors > Project

locate the name of the class you typed in earlier.

to the right of it its containing jar file.

sometimes that last step should be 'Declarators', not 'Implementors'
