How to find Eclipse Extension Point's default implementation


Is there an easy way to navigate to the Class which currently implements a given extension point?

For example I am looking for org.eclipse.jdt.core.javaFormatter but I can't find the default implementation.


Solution

  • Open the "Search > Search..." dialog and select the "Plug-in Search" tab.

    Enter the extension point to search for in the "Search string" field - org.eclipse.jdt.core.javaFormatter in this case.

    Set "Search for" to "Extension point", "Limit to" to "Refererences", "Scope" to "Workspace"

    Search dialog
