Not enough details in this bug report to do anything. Please reopen and provide 
the build number and steps to reproduce.
Comment 2 Eric Jain CLA 2004-03-25 04:27:41 EST 
Steps to reproduce:

1. Create class as shown above.
2. Select toString method declaration.
3. Choose Search -> References -> Project

Only the first println statement is marked, even though the toString method is 
also called (implicitly) from within the second println statement.

I am running Eclipse 3.0.0 build 200402122000.

FYI, 2nd invocation targets #println(Object) which in turn performs a #toString.
So there is no reference in your type.

Moreover, we do not report references to internally generated code.
