Description John Arthorne CLA 2001-11-16 11:58:54 EST 
If I have the following method:

public void foo(String myString) {
  ...
  System.out.println(myString);
  ...
}

If I select "myString" on the println statement, and choose 
Search->References->Workspace

It actually searches for all references to type "String".  All I really wanted 
was all references to that parameter in that method.

Local variable/parameter references are not currently supported.

2 parts in the problem:
1- open on selection (used to find the actual selected element) does not find 
anything, since it cannot answer a Java element for a local declaration.

2- the search engine does not know how to find references to local variables 
(yet). It could quite easily providing (1) was resolved.

JDT/Core part is fixed. UI side still needs to be fixed (see bug 45448)
