Using M6, here is a reproducable test case.
All plugins are imported as binaries except JDT/Core + JDT/Core tests.
Go into org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.DefaultCodeFormatterConstants. Select for
example, FORMATTER_BLANK_LINES_BEFORE_IMPORTS and search for references in the
workspace.
It finds only two hits in the code formatter code.
It should also find a reference in the code formatter preference page code.
org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.preferences.formatter.BlankLinesTabPage line 86.

I think this has always worked this way.

We index the .class files & use their constant pool to find references, so we 
miss inlined fields. Using the attached source would be considerably slower.
