Description Pascal Rapicault

I20090929
When information about the references is provided, it would be great to see the number of unique references to the element (type, method, field) in addition to the total.
For example today buckminster.core has a total of 177 type references on p2.core, but they are only contained by 7 unique types.

I think this request is covered by the new report form from bug 289903, where the secondary page (from the root index.htm) shows the types from that bundle that are used.

This has not been addressed by the new report, as this does not show the unique references. I think a new column is needed here if you wnated to address this requirement.

Can you elaborate on what you'd like to see? I'm not sure I understand the definition of unique - for example, every reference to a method might be considered unique as each reference originates from a different location.

As a consumer of the reports who is publishing API, I think that ideally I would like to have is something that follow the navigation metaphor that I'm used to in the package explorer:Project > Package > Class > Method
I think the references to the projects using the classes could be shown at each sub level (class, metdho). HTH

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.

Please remove the stalebug flag, if this issue is still relevant and can be reproduced on the latest release.
