Hi,

When I try to search references (in project or workspace), Eclipse found 0 references and return me (in the search pannel) the message "0 references in workspace (no JRE)".

I'm on a large project, imported from a svn repository with a subclipse checkout. I'm using a .classpath from someone else (so, not the original created by Eclipse). This problem happen in "separate folders for src & class" mode and in "project folder as root for src & class" mode.

An other detail : in the "Select Main Type" dialog for Main class selection (in Run Configurations), I didn't have the class I would to use. Now it appearing, but I don't know how/why.

Is it a bug ? Or something else with a not really clear error message ?

Reproducible: Always

The "no JRE" is not a message but simply indicating that it did not search the JRE. Your problem looks like a wrong Java build path. Make sure
- you don't have build path errors on your project
- all folders that contain code are on the Java build path

https://github.com/eclipse-jdt/eclipse.jdt.ui/issues/508 raised to clarify the "No JRE" text.

I encountered a similar problem of no matches from perhaps just one plugin. It eventually went away after a clean-all restart clean-all.
