PsiSearchHelper.findReferences() - alternatives

Hello Thomas,

We are using the findReferences method with following paramters:

final PsiVariable variable = ...
final PsiReference[] references =
manager.getSearchHelper().findReferences(variable,
variable.getUseScope(), false);
The method call is marked deprecated. What is the best alternative?

ReferencesSearch.search(variable, variable.getUseScope(), false)

ReferencesSearch.search(variable). This actually returns a Query]]> rather than a PsiReference[], which makes the search lazy and gives you a whole bunch of handy iteration options.

Which in turn will be deprecated when closures are added to Java:)

You surely mean "when closures ar added to IDEA"?

Closures are available in IDEA, but sadly only for Scala, Ruby, and JavaScript.
