Java Search Suggestion [message #331033]

Using Ganemede --

The search menu provides some nice options for locating references,
declarations, implementors, read access and write access.

When the current selection is a class, it would be handy to have an option
to search for 'new' operations. For example, if I try to find all the
places that throw an exception, I search for references and get hundreds of
locations including throw and catch statements. It would really be handy if
the search could be reduced to throws.

Am I overlooking an option somewhere, or is this candidate for a feature
request?

I guess you are searching for the references of the class. Try searching
for the references of the constructor. You will find only the 'new'
operations. Only issue would be if there are multiple constructors, you
need to do multiple searches - one for each constructor.

To do fine-grained searches on a type open the Search dialog (Ctrl+H)
and then click on select 'Match locations' and configure them by
clicking on the link on the right.

Excellent. A few more clicks but it gives the desired result.

Thanks
