Hello,
Recently I switched to eclipse (coming from netbeans IDE) and although there are some nice features in eclipse some things are not as good as in netbeanse IDE.
One of them is find references, this feature does not even come close to what netbeans offers (it doesn't even come close, to coming close, but than on the other hand eclipse is a free open source project, so who am I to complain).
What I miss: if you right click a variable and choose 'References' / 'Project'
-In the search result you don't see the line of code where the variable is used (only the function name and the number of matches). This has two annoying effects:
1) You open a lot of files just to conclude 'nope, wasn't looking for that'
2) You can easily overlook a result (because it is the second match and you click on the next function instead of on the 'next' match.
-Netbeans has some awesome search options for OO design (like 'find overriding methods', 'search from baseclass,..).
I've searched the market but I can't seem to find any plugin for that, does anybody knows about the existence of such a plugin?

See https://bugs.eclipse.org/380992

I suggest you give the 'Type Hierarchy' a try. Alternatively, you can
also search for methods in a hierarchy or filter methods from the Search
results.
