Eclipse find references for method

Blessed Geek picture Blessed Geek · Jul 24, 2012 · Viewed 23.6k times · Source

I wanted to find all the callers of the the method "get" for the following class:

package com.zzz.zzz.zzz.services;

public final class EMF {
  private static final EntityManagerFactory emfInstance =
    Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("obamaCareIsGood4U");

  private EMF() {}

  public static EntityManagerFactory get() {
    return emfInstance;
  }
}

So I highlited the text "get" and right-clicked References - project. But it returned references to every method called "get", rather than just references to com.zzz.zzz.zzz.services.EMF.get().

Is this an eclipse bug? How do I get Eclipse to show references only to com.zzz.zzz.zzz.services.EMF.get()?

With get highlighted, hit Ctrl+Shift+G. It'll come up with a list of results in the search tab/window. It'll find all references within your workspace. It does it via proper references, and not a plain text search.
