This tool finds code usages in the specified Maven repositories. It indexes repositories, downloads required artifacts and scans ".class" files in them. The tool analyzes all kinds of dependencies: usages of fields, usages of methods, extensions of classes and implementation of interfaces, usages of annotations, overrides of methods.
The tool is separated into 2 parts: server application, which collects all information and analyzes classes, and a client one, which is implemented as IntelliJ Plugin. Both of them are currently in development, but alpha versions are available on our portal. https://code.devexperts.com/display/USAGES/About+Usages
Server part of the tool is a Java application and could be run simply:
java -jar server-${version}.jar
All parameters are passed as system variables (-D<name>=<value>
)
- server.port - defines server port, which is used for find usages requests, 8080 by default;
- usages.workDir - defines working directory for settings.xml (see section below) and work files (e.g. caches, database), ~/usages/ by default.
You need to provide information about your repositories in ${usages.workDir}/settings.xml
file. See the example below.
<settings>

Plugin for IntelliJ IDEA should be installed from disk using idea-plugin-${version}.jar
. After the installation, set URL to usages server in plugin configuration (Tools --> Configure Usages plugin). To perform find usages action use CTRL + F9 (for simple search) or ALT + CTRL + SHIFT + F9 (with configuration before the search) shortcut when you are on the element to be searched for.
