Description

When I try to find all references for private method I get nothing. Is this desired behaviour?

Environment
  • Operating System:
  • JDK version:
  • Visual Studio Code version:
  • Java extension version:
Steps To Reproduce
  1. Clone https://github.com/nipafx/nox.zone
  2. Navigate to ResourceGatherer.java
  3. Go to Line 83, private static String computeResourceFileName(Path sourceFile, String resourceName) {
  4. Right click on computeResourceFileName method and select Go To References

Constructor
Same steps should be performed for constructor of ResourceGatherer class. When the Go To References is called on constructor it will also be blank, however the class is instansiated at ElementResolver.java at line 68

It will say that there are no references, however the method is used within the class.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue using ResourceGatherer.java at line 83 and the ResourceGatherer constructor, then check the instantiation in ElementResolver.java at line 68. Compare Go To References results for the private method and constructor with their usages within the class and at the reported call site. Done means references are returned instead of an empty result.
