Description Missing name CLA 2004-03-05 22:38:10 EST 
Many times when using a 3rd party library (lets say wonder.jar), I would like to 
search its source code to track down constants, variables, etc. Great! I've 
already associated wonder-src.zip as the source attachment to wonder.jar. As it 
is, the Debugger perspective, Declaration view, Outline view, Javadoc view, and 
Context Sensetive help (Ctrl-space) all benefit from the association. It would 
be really nice if the associated source zip is also considered a search target 
(user selectable of course) when doing a File Search or Java Search.

I think that's already the case. references are also found in class files and
shown in the source (if you attached it).
You can also select elements in the source of a classfile and search for
declarations/references.

Can you give a an example? 
Thomas, you're the search expert, allow me tp pass this discussion to you.

Java search should work. please file PR's if it doesn't. File search is a
totally different story. We have been thinking on how to let others participate
in file search, but nothing firm yet.

P2, because it's should be a planning item.
Comment 4 Dirk Baeumer CLA 2004-09-14 09:29:14 EDT 
Given the current planning no action is planned for 3.1
Comment 5 Markus Keller CLA 2006-06-23 11:34:13 EDT 
Sounds like a dup of bug 23341.
