Description Chris Wink CLA 2014-03-28 12:08:28 EDT 
Find References is broken in Kepler, and was broken in Indigo and Juno before it. Works perfectly in Helios.

Open a Workspace in Kepler. Select a class. Find references to it. Note how no references are found in compiled code or jars.

Open the same workspace in Helios. Find the same references. Note all the extra results. See how it works correctly. Pull hair out because you KNOW that bugs are not fixed in Eclipse.

Sorry, I can't reproduce the problem in general on our latest stable build:
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops4/S-4.4M6-201403061200/
and obviously find references usually works, otherwise we'd have tons of bugs regarding this. I suspect that it fails depending on a particular setup. Can you please install the stable build and try to reproduce the problem. If so, those detailed step will help us to actually fix the bug - yes we do fix bugs ;-).

You do have tons of bugs about this. Some of them have been open for over 8 years. https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=108749

Probably.

works for me. not enough info to reproduce the issue.
Comment 6 Chris Wink CLA 2014-07-17 05:11:30 EDT 
Yeah. Doesn't work for me. What do you want extra? Make workspace. Add Projects. Find references to something. It doesn't look in jar files or compiled code. What else can I say?

Chris: Please make a small test project with a class (say X) along with referenced jar files. Add the project as an attachment to this bug with information as to what in  the class X you are searching for which the appropriate references are missing. This would help us to reproduce the issue, re-open this bug and take this forward.
