Question

Netbeans: Is there a way to mimic Eclipse CTRL+H looking for usages in JRE and Application Libraries ?

Answer 1

+2 A:

I usually rely on Find Usages in the Edit menu.

Thnx for response.The thing is - I'm coming from Eclipse world and find "Find Usages" much more less powerful.

Indeed, there are fewer options, but it's easier to use, IMO. The options change to reflect the entity being sought, making selection quicker. I also use `Find in Projects`.

I understand that you are saying.And this is my story(to be understood by other s too).I have a project to plug-in into _projectA_, which is great but it's API / documentation isn't well enough documentated.I need to implement some interface but I need to see there call tree, all the references to this component as well to see if I'm doing something wrong i couldsome things better they currently are.In Eclipse I could use Ctrl+H and this is the end of the story. In Netbeans I will end up with adding all the 30 maven dependencies as projects and perform lookup only then. :(

I tried Netbeans and I liked that. But this is blocker or me to switch because I will end up with spending much more time finding the same information I gained access to so easy.

Answer 2

+2 A:

If you have a member

private JMenuItem Edit

you can highlight the member name Edit and right click the context menu will have an option named "Find Usages" after selecting it a menu will open up and you can select where to search and the results will be displayed in an output window at the bottom.

I don't think it has as many search options as eclipse doe though.
