Dear MyEclipse Support,
Is there a way to easily see which project is including a third party class?
When seaching a class (CTR-SHIFT-T) eclipse will show the jar file that includes this class.
However, I also would like to know which project is including this jar file.Example:
This is very useful when having many projects, like 20 that all bring their own version of apache commons-beanutils.
In this case you need to make sure (through editing the maven pom in my case) that only one version of the jar is included by all projects to overcome conflicts.Any idea how this is possible ?
My workaround: searching the .classpath files with ultraedit.Regards,
Ed BrasYou can see one reference if you check “Link with Editor” in Package Explorer view before opening the class in editor.
Dear Eugene,
Thank you for you answer.
Could you give me the exact steps of your answer please? As it’s a bit unclear to me what you exactly do.If I find a class with CTRL+SHIFT+T I can’t see this option “link with Editor”.
I am familiar with this option int he package view, but then I need to open the class such that the class will be shown in the referenced libraries. However, according to your answer above, this isn’t necessary (opening the class).Looking forward to your answer,

I was talking about opening the class in an editor with this option checked in package explorer.
He Eugene,
Yep, I was afraid of that. I know that one and use this. It’s only very poor option, especially if you want to see all the projects that include them.
I might have a look for some kind of library dependency plugin that does this.
It’s a pitty that eclipse still doesn’t show this information as it’s shows the jar that includes it, but not the project, and I am sure that information is available and it’s not a lot of work to show it.— Ed
