Dear Sir,

My question is regarding finding references to a class.
Please consider the following example

public class Database{
// class body
public void writeToDatabase(){
 // method body
}
}


public class AnotherClass{
Database db = new Database;
public void useDb(){
db.writeToDatabsse
}
}

In this example I want to find all the places in other classes where the
class Database is used. By using the xref feature in Source Navigator I
don't get any references to the class Database. In other words Source
Navigator is unable to find references to class Database, because the
variable (db in this example)  is defined (and initilalized) in the
class body of class AnotherClass.  If the varialbe in defined (or
initlized)  in  a class method then Source Navigator gives all
references to this particular class. Is there any way of finding out all
the classes in the source code that are using  the class
underconsideration in their bodies and not in their methods? Are there
som preferences that I may have to set to get through this problem?

Thanking you in anticipation
