Description mike andrews CLA 2004-09-02 21:20:16 EDT 
would be nice to be able to search for typecasts to specific or wildcard types.

so if i have somewhere in my code:

"String name = (String) list.get(0);"

i would like to be able to search for casts to 'String' class. or, i may like to
search for casts to ANY class type, and find this one along with others.

this would help in identifying areas of code which can be improved by changes
making them type-safe.

This is something we have in mind. More search patterns, think of search for 
synchronization on a given type, or catching/throwing certain types.

If time permit... Otherwise, defer to next release

Comment 5 Frederic Fusier CLA 2006-03-30 08:26:40 EST 
Must be fixed in conjunction with "Search Template" enhancement (see bug 110157)
Comment 6 Frederic Fusier CLA 2007-06-21 09:42:14 EDT 
Reopen as LATER is deprecated...
Comment 7 Frederic Fusier CLA 2007-06-21 09:51:25 EDT 
Should be more addressed while fixing bug 155013 than bug 110157...
Comment 8 Frederic Fusier CLA 2007-11-29 06:37:17 EST 
Addressed by using fine grain flag IJavaSearchConstants#CAST_TYPE_REFERENCE (see bug 155013).

Mark as duplicate because no additional changes were necessary after bug 155013 was fixed...
