Support for "References"?

[manifoldronin]

Is it possible to have the References list in Eclipse include those from application context XMLs? This would be extremely useful for those impl classes that are not otherwise explicitly referenced by anybody else.

I know we can do textual searches as a workaround, but they are not nearly as convenient nor accurate.

The BeansSearch dialog provides the search "Beans by class". This should do the trick. Otherwise feel free to open an enhancement request over there.

Btw. the BeansXmlEditor provides a hotkey (<Ctrl>+<Shift>+G) for the search "Beans referencing this bean". To start this search place the cursor on a bean ID and use the hotkey.

Great! Thanks, Torsten!
