Description Robin Rosenberg CLA 2012-01-13 05:13:00 EST 
I want to for example mark more all constructors in the outline and search
for all of them, but the search menu is only available for a single selection.
Comment 1 Dani Megert CLA 2012-01-13 06:25:16 EST 
Until this bug is fixed you might want to use 'Open Call Hierarchy' (Ctrl+Alt+H).


Fixing this would not just mean to allow starting the search but also group the results similar to the Call Hierarchy view.
Comment 2 Markus Keller CLA 2012-01-13 06:34:22 EST 
Workaround to search for references to all constructors: Select the enclosing type in the outline, open the Java Search dialog, and then change the "Search For" option to "Constructor".

Thanks for the patch, Sarika.

Fixed minor issues like changing 'if' statements to block, changes to conditional expressions and removing extra whitespaces with:

For the records: This change added API after the freeze. An API change request should have been sent to the PMC mailing list. Anyway, I looked at the change and since the class is not intended to be subclassed by clients, the change is not problematic. I hereby approve the addition.

Sorry my bad! The API addition *was* sent to the PMC list and approved via bug 477340.
