Saljack opened a new issue, #7481:
URL: https://github.com/apache/netbeans/issues/7481
### Description
I would like to search in project dependencies. I have a maven project and
this project has some dependencies. I can browse them because there are sources
jar (`-sources.jar`). Then I select a dependency and press Find (`Ctrl+F`) and
try search some text in this dependency but it returns nothing (Search in
Archives and Generated Sources is checked). It searches only in `META-INF` and
totally ignores `.class` files. I would expect that it would find searched text
at least in `.class` files if it finds it in `META-INF`. But the best option
would be to search in connected `-sources.jar` instead of a regular jar
dependency.
My proposal is:
* If user search in a dependency without Sources it search in `.class` files
* If there is a connected Sources Jar (`-sources.jar`) then this archive is
used for search text
* If dependency is selected directly
* If any package or class is selected
### Use case/motivation
I regularly work with Spring Boot and often search for an autoconfiguration
and I have to search in its Github repository or clone it. Another workaround
is to add a `-sources.jar` to Favorites and select it for search then the
Search works.
