How to find where a method is used in Java project

Question

I am working on learning a project which was already created by someone else. It was not followed a proper coding method (no comments and so on). Im finding it difficult to find where a method is used. I tried "find" but as it searches only a particular class im unable to get the answer. Im working in eclipse. So can anyone please help me out.

Answer 1

You can select method that you want to find and use "Ctrl +H" and references search.

I hope this can help you.

Answer 2

Right click on the method in the editor, and from the pop-up menu select

• References > Project , or
• References > Workspace ,

depending on whether you want to search only in the current project, or in the entire workspace.

For the find references in workspace option, the default keyboard shortcut is: Shift + Ctrl + G

After invoking the command, the Search window will display an overview of all locations where the method is used.
