Riyad,

Logging in enabled me to see the table and download the file. I copied your Web project’s index.jsp into my Web project, added your Java project to the build path and the project references properties, and searched for your Java method. Success! My Web project has lots of compilation problems that will never be resolved. These problems seem to be interfering with searching for Java references but not for strings. In general, must a JSP be compilable into Java source or all the way into Java byte codes to be searchable for references?

Thanks for your help in resolving my problem.

Bill,
The indexer runs during build time and I’m not sure if it’s parsing the servlet byte code or if it’s parsing the source. But build errors will always bork reference-searches since successful builds are necessary for the indexers to run correctly.

Why do you say that your build errors will never be fixed?

Riyad,

Yeah, I’m sure the indexer is not helped when there are compilation errors.

The project with build errors is not under my control. My purpose in searching is to find and remove as many references to my code as possible from that project.
