Description cfd 2011-10-20 10:03:08 UTC 
I have 2 projects A and B.

A> foo.java{
	public static void m(){}
}

B> bar.java{
	public static void m2(){
		A.m();
	}
}

a "find usages" of A>foo.java>m (after selecting the method and selecting "Open Projects" as Scope) doesn't list the B>bar.java>m2 method.

Note: projects A and B are not linked as Libraries. I just open both projects in NetBeans.

Product Version = NetBeans IDE 7.0.1 (Build 201107282000)
Operating System = Windows XP version 5.1 running on x86
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.6.0_20
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 16.3-b01

read "foo.m()" instead of "A.m()"

It's working if the projects are (1) linked as Libraries and (2) open.

The UI label doesn't reflect that behavior: we have to read "Scope: Open Linked Projects" but it's should be better to have "Scope: Linked Projects".
The search should be done into the open linked projects but into the closed linked projects too.
Comment 3 Ralph Ruijs 2011-10-20 14:41:46 UTC 
If project A is not a dependency of project B, the method m() and the method invocation on m() are not the same. There is a separate issue about Find Usages in libraries. #55291

Marking as wontfix. If you think option "Open Projects" should be named differently, please file a new issue.

Thanks.

Refactoring and Usages maybe use the same internal tools but, for users, have different goals.
And #55291 is open since v4 in 2005...

I'll open a new ticket to rename the label, if it's possible.

Thanks.
Comment 5 Jan Lahoda 2011-10-20 18:32:00 UTC 
If I may ask, do you see an error in bar.java (that it cannot find "foo")? If not, what is on the bar.java's compile classpath? Thanks.
