Re: Programmatically doing 'Find Usages"

Note that i want the user to be able to select any Logger instance 
variable used in a Class, not just the Logger constructor. A 'Find 
Usage' on the instance variable does not search for usages of the 
variable Class across modules.

I can get the Class name when the user selects (put the cursor) the 
variable by comparing the Element.asType().toString() to 
"java.util.logging.Logger"

Thanks
