Description Uwe Kubosch 2005-04-12 01:42:23 EDT

Consider the following example:

import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.Map;

public class Example {
    private Map map = new HashMap();

    public void logAll() {
        for (Iterator i = map.entrySet().iterator(); i.hasNext();) {
            Map.Entry entry = (Map.Entry) i.next();
            System.out.println(entry.getKey() + "->" + entry.getValue());
        }
    }
}

When selecting the class file and choosing Search->Java from the menu and entring 

pattern   : "*"
search for: package
limit to  : references
scope     : selected resources

Map.Entry is wrongly identified as a package.  It is a class.

This search is used in the Metrics project and causes confusion in the package
dependency analysis.

With kind regards,
Uwe Kubosch
