[Solved]-Eclipse: How can I search for a string inside an application library?-eclipse

if you are looking for a "hard-coded" value in the library, use the maven source setting in eclipse to download the source of the library. then you should be able to do your search.

if that isn't an option, then, as you may already be aware, you are not looking at finding something in the source, but something that is in memory while running. you can put a breakpoint in your software and then use a tool like yourkit to find what you are looking for.

granted, this is a verbose and cumbersome way to achieve the results, but it should work.
