how to know whether a particular line of code is present in the compilation unit?

Question

I want to search for a particular line of code in the compilation unit. So need some input on how to go about the same. thanks

Answer 1

Do a file search in the whole project (or workspace) and use the file filter *.java. This will scan all java source files for the given phrase.

Answer 2

You can search for the text or you can use the References or Declarations search from Eclipse: select the line of code, right click and then choose References or Declarations.

Very useful to find where you call a certain method or where you used some class.
