RE: [ajdt-dev] annotation provider for cross-reference view

["Mik Kersten" <beatmik@xxxxxxx>]

Isn't this already handled well enough by Eclipse 3.1m4?  Select an
annotation, hit <ctrl><shift>g, and the search view is populated with all
the places that the annotation is used.  For going from annotation ref to
definition it's just the usual F3.  

It'll be nice when the above works for pointcuts, since people expect it to,
but for now at least we have the "pointcut used by" relationship in the ASM.
