I am in the process of converting some code, however due to the nature of the beast
I need to find out where the method is called from (cycle through all locations?)
Is there an easy way in Eclipse to find out wherever a particular method is called?(in other java/classes/files)(all in my 1 project though) I am having trouble finding a search function for this
I was thinking it had to deal with Call Hierarchy or references or something but always come up short
well, if I understand correctly you want to know where a method call comes from.
When there are exception, this happens naturally -> Exception.printStackTrace();
so there are many ways to do this when there are no exceptions and you just want the StackTrace.
I guess the easiest way is to just use something like new Exception(“Something”).printStackTrace();
I meant I have something like
....//Math.class
public double add(double X, double Y){
return (x+y)
}
...
I want to find all locations that utilize this method
//MathGame.class
double Ans = add(5.2,2.6);
Right click on the method, and look for “References”

That was it, It was that from the beginning, but I was overlooking something stupid 
and it wasn’t working before
All good now, thanks!
Easier than Thread.currentThread().getStackTrace() ?
well in most cases(questionable) you want to instantly print the stack trace
Thread.currentThread().getStackTrace() returns a stacktrace array, which you still have to print
just more lines of codes, not harder or anything.
obviously you could just create a method for it, to use every time you need a stack trace…
Unforunantely I can’t run it to call any functions/methods like Thread
I am converting some software from another language so it won’t be compilable/runnable for a while
Orangy perhaps was thinking of the shorter:
Thread.dumpStack()
?
Of course, Eclipse’s finding references / opening call hierarchy are probably much slicker options.
