eclipse - find references only in specific class and all subclasses of that class

Question

I need to find the references to external method say Foo.getInstance() in specific type hierarchy, basically i want to restrict the search results to specific class and all subclasses, i am not interested in all references. Is it possible to do with eclipse or any custom plugin? Thanks

You can do this creating a working set with only the files holding your hierarchy. Then CTRL+H and Java Search with scope "Working Set".

If the classes are all within a package you can select that in Project Explorer then perform Java Search with scope "Selected".

Working sets are awesome
