Searching through my project [message #261042]

Hi, I have a properties file in my Java project open. I want to search
for instances of a property "MY_PROP" in my project, but when I highlight
"MY_PROP" and right click on it, I don't see a "References" sub-item as I
do with code snippets.

How do I search through my project for references to "MY_PROP"?

Thanks, - Dave

Simply Ctrl+Click on the key. This will take you directly to the
location(s) where it is used. Alternatively you can perform a text
search (Ctr+H).

If I have to search within a file using Ctrl-K. By default eclipse does
not wrap the search and start from beginning.

Is there any option to enable this?

Thanks in advance.

CTRL-K just redoes the last search as configured by CTRL-F. Whatever
settings you have there (regex, wrap, case sensitive) will be applied to
CTRL-K / CTRL-SHIFT-K.
