Description Erich Gamma CLA 2003-05-19 08:24:10 EDT 
These menu items are confusing in particular since they are not selection 
sensitive (i.e., also show up for methods), but this is for a good reason.

Searching filtered for read or write is problematic since I'm usually interested
in both read&write but I'd like to know which ones are a right access.

Getting a read/write indication in a search result requires JDT Core support.

Would be an API breaking change if answering match kind along with our search 
results.
Comment 2 Erich Gamma CLA 2003-05-19 09:32:48 EDT 
This is why I was quiet on this before during 2.0/2.1. The breaking API change 
can be justified by a significant UI improvement.
