Well, unfortunately you are right :-(

You might want to file a feature request at bugs.eclipse.org/bugs

Two possible solutions come to my mind:
- Static code analysis (write your own checkstyle or pmd check)
- Use a code coverage tool like eclemma (www.eclemma.org). Besides
  showing you whether all methods are called, it tells you which lines
  of code are uncovered by the test which is IMHO a more accurate and
  more useful information for the developer.
