When I am search for a reference of method in Eclipse, I got invalid results and a an strange message box. The search is execute by selecting the method name in the outline, right click, References | Workspace. If I restrict the search to Source only (not libraries) it works fine. Both M5 and the 20020502 integration build is showing this behaviour. I will add the example project that has this behaviour and some screen shots.
Created attachment 775 [details] Example project without the libraries
The libraries where just to big to be uploaded. Here are the link where they can be found. http://xml.apache.org/dist/xerces-j/old_xerces1/ xerces 1.4.3 (I don't think the version matters too much). http://castor.exolab.org/download.html castor 0.9.3. The source code probably needs to be repackaged to be accepted by Eclipse.

The libraries likely pre-req some other classes internally. When searching the code is analyzed but the types cannot be resolved because of incomplete type information. Hence the matches are reported as potential, which is shown in the result and also indicated in the dialog. The behaviour is correct what this PR indicates is that the surfacing of potential matches isn't as understandable to the user as it should be. Dani, time permitting we should do another revisit of this issue.
Attachments unusable since the type is not specified. gif? jgp? bmp?...
There's already a bug about the Potential Matches dialog (13183). And also PR against how potential matches are dispalyed in the viewer (15317 ). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 13183 ***
