Eclipse Europa search references feature stopped working

Question

I'm working with Eclipse Version 3.2.1 Build M20060921-0945 on a MS-Windows 2000 SP4 using a JDK 1.5.0-12.
I takes my locale that is es-AR and sets all menu and context in Spanish which I don't like. So I had included in eclipse.ini file one parameter "-nl en".
Since that, "References..." feature in both "Search" and contextual menu stopped working. I removed parameter and ran eclipse with "-clean" but still not working. I don't have any other clue about what is happening. Thank you all in advance.

Answer 3

I have a similar problem where search for references (Ctrl + Shift + G) stops working. It works again if I restart Eclipse, but it's still pretty annoying. I'm thinking maybe there's some keyboard shortcut that I hit sometimes by accident that messes up the search.

Answer 4

Delete all the files in you eclipse data, eg: /.metadata/.plugin/org.eclipse.jdt.core. This should force eclipse to rebuild its index
