When I do a search for references on a local variable I 
would expect the serach to be limited to the references of
that variable within the function (or code loop) where it
it has scope.
Unfortunately for some reason eclipse finds all the references
to variables of that type. Eg if the local variable is a String
all the 1,000s of references to String variables are found.

Eg. Create a new class
public class testc
{
	public void test()
	{
		String aString = null;
			
	}
}

Highlight the variable name 'aString'
and then right click
choose search | references | project
or     serach | references | workspace

There really is only one reference.
However 1,000s of Strings are found.

Go on, try it. If it dont work ask me for me details.
