Command purpose: Do a reasonably valiant attempt to locate all senders of a particular message/method within the project. Usage: Highlight the method name, excluding the parameter portion of the method signature, and execute this command. It will search across all source in your project and return a clickable list of method invocations. It doesn't work perfectly, but it often works very satisfactorily. Example, you would like to find all the places where public void handleRequest(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) is used, simply highlight handleRequest and execute the command which will bring up a window with links to these occurrences. Command:

grep -rn ".$TM_SELECTED_TEXT(" $TM_PROJECT_DIRECTORY | grep ".java"

Standard Input: None Standard Ouput: Show in separate window Pattern: ^.*/(\w+.java):(\d+):.* Format string: $1 $2 File register: 1 Line: 2

Command purpose: Do a reasonably good job of finding all declarations of a particular method within the project. Usage: Same as above. Command:

grep -rn "[ ]$TM_SELECTED_TEXT(" $TM_PROJECT_DIRECTORY | grep ".java"

Standard Input: None Standard Ouput: Show in separate window Pattern: ^.*/(\w+.java):(\d+):.* Format string: $1 $2 File register: 1 Line: 2

Command purpose: Do a reasonably good job of finding a class definition within the project. Usage: Same as above, but highlight the class name. Example, Dispatcher d = new DispatcherServlet();, highlight DispatcherServlet and execute the command. This will bring up a window with clickable links to each declaration found. Command:

egrep -rns "class[ ]+$TM_SELECTED_TEXT[ ]+" $TM_PROJECT_DIRECTORY | grep ".java"

Standard Input: None Standard Ouput: Show in separate window Pattern: ^.*/(\w+.java):(\d+):.* Format string: $1 $2 File register: 1 Line: 2

Command purpose: Do a reasonably good job of finding an interface definition within the project. Usage: Same as above, but highlight the class name. Example, Dispatcher d = new DispatcherServlet();, highlight Dispatcher (assuming it is an interface) and execute the command. This will bring up a window with clickable links to each declaration found. Command:

egrep -rns "interface[ ]+$TM_SELECTED_TEXT[ ]+" $TM_PROJECT_DIRECTORY | grep ".java"

Standard Input: None Standard Ouput: Show in separate window Pattern: ^.*/(\w+.java):(\d+):.* Format string: $1 $2 File register: 1 Line: 2

Command purpose: Open a window listing all the methods found in a particular class. assuming the class containing the method definitions exists in the project. Usage: Highlight the class name for which you would like to search, then execute the command. This will bring up a window, no links sorry, that lists the method signature for each of the methods local to that class, i.e., non-inherited methods. I find this useful when I quickly want to find what methods are available without having to search for the file or read documentation.

cat `egrep -rnsl "class[ ]+$TM_SELECTED_TEXT[ ]+" .` | egrep "public[ ]+<.*>[ ]+<.*>(.*)[ ]+(throws .*|){"

Standard Input: None Standard Ouput: Show in separate window Pattern: ^.*/(\w+.java):(\d+):.* Format string: $1 $2 File register: 1 Line: 2

Enjoy,
