Hi Klaus,
Your last point here about semantic not being able to look into a
.class file is valid, however the CVS version semantic 2.0 semanticdb
subsystem was recently enhanced to be extensible beyond just typical
language parsers. The idea was Paul's originally, and I expanded on
that.
The basic premise is to sub-class a semanticdb class, and implement
all the search methods. Your search methods can then call external
programs, or whatever you like before returning a results table.
There is an example that will search all Emacs Lisp symbols inside
Emacs, regardless of having the sources available. The only part
that needs to be done to make your new program support .class files
is to extend the database.
I can provide you with more details and perhaps start the process if
you would like to try extending semanticdb.
Have fun
Eric
