How to find usages using Eclipse IDE?

Question

I have following code:

public class MyClass{
   ...
}

At same workspace I have following class

public class AnotherClass{
   @Autowired
   MyClass myClass;
   ...
}

If I click right mouse button on MyClass(first mentioned) and select "open call hierarchy" I don't see anything.

How to find this usage in Eclipse?

Right click on Myclass, find references in project|workspace.

Open call hierarchy, open inheritance hierarchy.

For your case, I think both of (Ctrl +Shift+G) and (Ctrl +Alt+H) work.

To make it more clear:

(Ctrl +Shift+G) is shortkey for Search->References->workspace
Ctrl +Alt+H is short key for Call hierarchy.

Some other useful short keys like:

(Ctrl+G) : Search->Declaration->worksapce
(Alt+Left) : Back position
(Alt+Right) : Forward position

Try right-click on MyClassand then References->Workspace. I think this might be what you're looking for.

Also works on methods, variables etc.

Select the resource (method name, class name ) & right click . You will find a menu with title 'Open Call Hierarchy' (shortcut key : alt + Ctrl + H ). This will enlist all the usage in project.

To my knowledge, both of Ctrl+Shift+G and Ctrl+Alt+H should work.

For Your Information:

Ctrl+Shift+G --> is the short key for Search --> References --> workspace

Ctrl+Alt+H --> is the short key for Call hierarchy.
