Bug 41584 Search references not hitting build path for working set [search]
This happens in 3.0M2 If I'm searching for references of a method, I usually right click, Search->References->Workspace. However, with large workspaces, this can take pretty long, so I've gotten in the habit of searching for references within a working set. I usually define a workingset for each project and all its contents. The problem is, when I search for references of a method in the workingset, it does not find references to that symbol from the thirdparty jars I have attached to the project's build path (verified the jar is selected as part of the working set). However, if I search the workspace, it does find the references in that thirdparty jar. This is usually for a method defined in the thirdparty jar that I use, and want to see how it is used by the thirdparty.
