You can search for XOM classes and packages or limit the search to the current XOM.

To search for XOM classes and packages:

  1. In the Search menu select XOM to open the XOM Search page in the Search dialog.
  2. Specify patterns to find classes and packages in the Search string field.
  3. Use * to specify any string and ? to specify any character. This enables you to specify all or part of the name of the classes or packages you are searching for.
  4. Select the Case Sensitive box if you want your search to be case sensitive.
  5. Click Search.
  6. The results display in the Search view.

Search can also be used to search in the current XOM.

To search in the current project only:

  1. Highlight the rule project in the Rule Explorer.
  2. Open the XOM Search page in the Search dialog and set up the search.
  3. Select the scope in the Scope area:
  4. To search on all XOMs in the workspace, select Workspace.
    To search on XOMs for specific rule projects, select Selected Rule Projects.
  5. Click Search.
  6. The results display in the Search view.

For every match, the Search view shows the fully qualified name, the rule project and the JAR file or class folder where the match was found.

To open the source file of a match for a class, double-click the match item in the Search view. If the source is attached to the corresponding XOM reference, the source file is opened; otherwise, it opens an editor that allows you to set the source.
