Description Dean Hiller CLA 2019-04-26 00:08:38 EDT 
the latest releases of eclipse open call heirarchy intermittenly goes dead.  I have started to use intellij as a more reliable solution.  Stack overflow has posts on this as well as people run into it.  I tried this SO post to no avail

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43489171/open-call-hierarchy-in-eclipse-not-working?rq=1

I had to then use search to find the callers instead EVEN after I put in search the whole workspace in the pulldown menu.

NOTE: I always leave the defaults of open call heirarchy menus to not screw with it, but the later releases of eclipse have been very unstable with this feature 

WORSE YET...this is VERY hard to reproduce so I now more and more just use intellij as this is a critical feature.

If you're using Eclipse 4.11 with Java 9 or later, it might be bug 545293.

In this case, please try Eclipse 4.12M1 
https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/release/2019-06/m1

Otherwise, make sure that the new experimental Java index is not enabled (in Preferences > Java in the "Search" block) and use the "Rebuild index" button also located there.

If that still doesn't help check if there are any errors in the log (open the "Error Log"-View)

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.

If you can provide a reproducer please re-open, otherwise not much I can do here. I'm not noticing such problems with Eclipse 4.27, call hierarchy works for the most part. See bug 575022 for related issues that are still open.
