No I did not try this until now. But it does a simple "find /src -name "*.java" -type f | xargs grep -i -n Expression" only something that I did anyway from the command line. I have to admit having the file name in the search buffer is nice though. > method or variable name.

Well yes this is more what I was looking for. I like JDE but I kind of need this feature. All my co workers are already working on InteliJ IDEA but I don't want to give up emacs so I had to install the shareware tool xref which does a good job but is of cause not integrated with JDE and some refactoring stuff takes unbelievably long compared to IDEA.
