Description Dirk Baeumer CLA 2006-01-03 10:37:19 EST

Currently the search engine doesn't allow specifying a type container name (e.g. java.util.Arrays) when searching. Only package names are supported. This makes it impossible to query all types inside of java.util.Arrays

Could it be that this got fixed? When I search for pack='*Handle*', name='*' this also returns
com.sun.security.auth.callback.DialogCallbackHandler.Action

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
