Do a file search for the string "\b" in the file types "*" in the Workspace. A long list of JAR files is returned, but not the class files. Do a file search for the string "\b" in the file types "*.java, *.class" in the Workspace. A short list of Java files is returned, but no class files. Do a file search for the string "\b" in the file types "*.class" in the Workspace. No matches. I am expecting to find the occurrence of "\b" in SWT.class, as well as all other class files containing that string.
Search does neither scan files in archives nor derived resources. There is a feature request for search in archives.
It would be helpful in the future if you actually marked duplicate bugs as duplicates, rather than closed them as "WORKSFORME". I had to spend time finding the bug to which you refer.
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 23341 ***
This bug is covering two issues: derived resources and archives. Now, if you want to narrow it down to just archive searching then this is OK for me. I normally don't mark a bug with n problems as duplicate of one of the n's. >I had to spend time finding the bug to which you refer. Same is true for me. If I would have had the bug number in mind I would have attached it (though not marked as duplicate). And by the way: you could have found that information in bugzilla even before filing the bug ;-)
I know, I know. I did, but I didn't include bugs that were "RESOLVED", as I saw the problem in the most recent I-build. I'm not sure I understand how this is a "derived resource" problem, but that's probably just because I don't know what a derived resource is. I believe what I have described is exactly what the person in Bug 23341 has described. If that includes derived resources, then maybe it should be added to the bug description. (fixing bugs by user goals, rather than implementation details)
Derived resources a resources which are derived from existing resources (e.g. class files generated by the Java builder). Users can also set that state using the properties dialog. >Do a file search for the string "\b" in the file types "*.class" in the >Workspace. No matches. Assumed you expected matches in the class files of your output folder. Those class files are derived resources and hence no matches.
Ah, okay. Naw, I just mean the stuff in the JARs. No worries. (Anything I have compiled classes for, I also have source for. I was just trying to show that the problem was not related to the ',' concatenation or search types.) Thanks.
