[news.eclipse.tools.jdt] problems with searching for references

[Rudolf Ziegaus <Rudolf.Ziegaus@xxxxxx>]

Hello,

I want to search for references for a class or a method. I do this via 

      getSearchEngine().search(pattern, getParticipants(), searchScope,                    
                               searchRequestor, monitor);

where the pattern has been created with 


    pattern = SearchPattern.createPattern(element,         
                                          JavaSearchConstants.REFERENCES);

and the searchScope has been created with

    searchScope = SearchEngine.createJavaSearchScope(javaProjects);
 
javaProjects is a array of IJavaProject, that the user selects.

Now when I use this approach on classes I will find all references in java
source code, but I miss references in plugin.xml.
Eclipse itself however also finds the reference to plugin.xml when I search
the same projects via "references".

I thought that maybe the way I create my searchscope might be wrong, so I
tried SearchEngine.createWorkspaceScope(), but to no avail. I also tried
variations of the createPattern method, but again I had no success.

Can anybody give me a hint which approach I need to take in order to also
find references to a class in plugin.xml?


TIA,

Rudi
