Ctrl Shift G not working [message #892914]

Hi,
I have been using eclipse Indigo until recently. Suddenly find references function stopped working across workspace and instead gave a limited list of results within the same project.
I have done some research online and tried few solutions such deleting the indexes, remapping the key, rebuilding the indexes,deleteting the whole meta core directory to no avail.
Finally I installed the latest Juno version afresh in a new location a couple of days ago, but I was not happy the same problem persisted, indicating it could be a problem outside of Eclipse.
Find references is the single most useful function in my opinion for evaluating the impact of making changes to existing code. I really need to get this working given that I have been up untill now happy with eclipse and don't wish to switch to Intellij, and have to learn a new IDE because of some potentially solvable problem.

Has anyone had the same problem? or perhaps any idea on how I can investigate this problem at OS and indexer plugin level? am I missing some configuration (this used to work btw)
One thing my project referenced libraries are jars inside the referencing project, and each has a corresponding eclipse project. It used to magically search those projects and go there instead of the jar for found references when I do ctrl shift g.

Thanks a lot for your time in advance

Apologies, this is a non issue. It looks like the jar dependencies do not get associated automatically with workspace projects.
In fact there is a way to do the association in the jar dependency (by clicking it on it and adding source location) which did not work for me.
For now I am happy to just add As project in the properties and make it lower priority than the actual jar.

Thanks

For anyone else stuck on this...

Check if your classpath is set up with a project->JAR dependency when it should be using a project->project dependency.

Some more detail:

I'm using a Java-based framework which is smart enough to import your Java project either with the project->project dependency if possible or with a dependency on the associated JAR if not.

(I'm actually not using Maven but I imagine there's a way to get confused with Maven's Eclipse integration and end up with the same result.)

Anyway usually it leaves me with a project->project dependency, but I messed something up on my disk and it found the JAR instead of the other project.

----

An interesting, related note.. the way I messed up my disk was doing a rename of a particular folder to "dir1.bak". I thought I was hiding it from Eclipse but the refactoring picked up the changed location which threw everything off.

---
Hope that helps someone.
