Description Dirk Baeumer CLA 2003-10-08 05:23:00 EDT 
I20031007 + Core v375

Test case:

public class TestClass {
	public void foo() {
		class A {
			
		}
		
		A a= new A();
	}
}


Search for A. You don't get any reference
Comment 1 Dirk Baeumer CLA 2003-10-08 05:31:54 EDT 
Same is true for members declared in local types.

Philippe, is there anything we can do for M4. This bugs result in funny 
results when doing refactorings on local and anonymous types.
Comment 2 Philipe Mulet CLA 2003-10-08 06:30:10 EDT 
Dirk, this isn't yet supported. The only action to take for M4 is to disable 
such actions until we support them.
Comment 3 Dirk Baeumer CLA 2003-10-08 06:39:02 EDT 
Disabling all the action is a pain. So we will keep them enabled and move all 
PRs to Core ;-). 

I think people will not use refactoring very frequently to refactor local 
types. They aren't very common anyway and the side effects are very local.
Comment 4 Dirk Baeumer CLA 2003-10-08 06:39:32 EDT 
Kent, will this be in for M5 ?
Comment 5 Jerome Lanneluc CLA 2003-10-08 06:55:02 EDT 
And we will move them all back to UI :-)
Note there is no time to implement this for M4. This is not a regression as 
this never worked before.
Comment 6 Dirk Baeumer CLA 2003-10-08 08:40:39 EDT 
I am not saying that this is a regression but having local types without the 
rest of the Java API correctly working on them makes them very tricky to use 
from a client side. Its not only searching. You can't create methods in local 
types either.
Comment 7 Kent Johnson CLA 2003-11-20 17:32:46 EST 
Dirk: Please let us know what other problems you're seeing with local type 
searches in M5.
Comment 8 Dirk Baeumer CLA 2003-11-21 13:11:18 EST 
The described test case work in M5. They only open issue I am currently aware 
of is bug 46943. I will open a new PR if I see other cases.
Comment 9 Kent Johnson CLA 2003-11-21 14:48:05 EST 
This was fixed in our changes that made it into M5.
Comment 10 David Audel CLA 2003-11-24 08:09:48 EST 
Verified.
