[news.eclipse.technology.dltk] Re: unable to find method declarations

["Chuck Doucette" <cdoucette@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have found out a lot more information;
but, I still don't know why searching for method declarations never works,
and searching for method references only works sometimes.

I know that for every project in your workspace, it may be indexed (by 
method name declarations and/or references at least).
That indexing is done by IndexManager.rebuildIndex.
I'm not sure when that actually happens.
I tried to force index rebuilding by deleting the files in the index 
directory.
However, the flag createIfMissing was usually not set.
