Way back I found a plug-in from IBM Alpha works called "jarclassfinder" that allow me to search all .jar files in a directory for .jar that had the requested class name. The "jarclassfinder" is not on Alphaworks anymore. I am now back doing some eclipse work and and trying to find the equivalent functionality. Then I did a google search and found "classLocator" on sourceforge. Tried that by dropping the "classlocator.jar" file in the plugins directory and the dropins directories and did not show up either way.
My question is this....
What is the current best practice (tool) for finding a class in the ...\plugins directory. I saw no such feature (tab) in the "search -> search" panel.

From the main Plug-in Development preference page, make sure the checkbox for "Include all plug-ins from target in Java Search" is on. Then you'll be able to use the Open Type command on their types. You might have to disable the Package/Project Explorer's "External Plug-in Libraries" Filter to see the actual jar file.

I have uploaded and attached the plug-in zip file that worked in Eclipse 3.0. I tried getting it to work in Eclipse 4.4.2 but it does not show up on the menu and I see no errors. Is it possible someone with deeper Eclipse skills can see what is going on?
