Re: find java file

I use cscope http://cscope.sourceforge.net/ for this task.

Then in prj.el, I add:

   '(cscope-initial-directory "myproject/directory/src")

to the jde-set-variables alist.

Then I can search for functions, functions calling functions, global
defs, etc., etc.

I also have a jde-mode menu item that I can reindex the project source
directory by calling:

    (cscope-index-files cscope-initial-directory)

It's a pretty powerful tool for java, even if it was intended for C.

As Phillip recommends, depending on the source browsing workflow, ECB
and recentf are also used very frequently.
