Description Uli Bubenheimer CLA 2003-05-12 13:54:05 EDT 
When the cursor is positioned on a local variable representing an object, 
and "Open Declaration" is selected, e.g. from the pop-up menu, Eclipse opens 
the file where the variable's class is declared. Instead, Eclipse should just 
jump to the position of the local variable's declaration.

When the local variable has a primitive type, nothing whatsoever happens.
Comment 1 Philipe Mulet CLA 2003-05-13 06:11:03 EDT 
This is the intended behavior. Currently, we do not have an element 
representation for local variables (which is what we answer back from 
codeselect). A text range would be more generic, but less informative for 
clients (like search references to selection).
Comment 2 Philipe Mulet CLA 2003-05-13 06:12:09 EDT 
Forgot to mention that we plan to address this issue for 3.0.

Comment 4 Oyvind Harboe CLA 2003-05-23 04:06:39 EDT 
Similarly. If you search for references of a local variable(e.g. "foo" below), 
it is the type that is search for in the entire project.


public class Foo
{
	int foobar;

	public void xxx()
	{
		Object foo;
	}
}

Comment 6 Jerome Lanneluc CLA 2003-10-23 10:41:39 EDT 
ICodeAssist.codeSelect(...) now returns an ILocalVariable when the selection is 
a local variable reference/declaration. UI side should be fixed (see bug 45444)

Searching local variables is captured in bug 43967.

Tooltip for a local variable still doesn't work. Entered bug 45445.

Marking this bug as fixed as the JDT/Core side is now implemented.
