Find in Files for modular jdk

Use Search Everywhere or Navigate | Class.

I was looking more into searching inside the files, sorry I know in the example it looks like I'm searching for a class. Thanks for the help.

jmod is not a directory, you can't search for files inside it.

It's also not a jar file and so the exclamation mark doesn't work. But anyways I was curious because this was a feature I often utilized to search inside the jdk. From the looks of it seems this won't be supported in the future.

Comment from the developers regarding JMOD support from one of the internal tickets that may help you understand why we don't support it:

"adding the support is technically complicated, because Java neither provide an API that allows opening a JMOD file and reading its contents, nor publish the format for someone else to write a reader. I'm aware of jmod tool, but one cannot use it for indexing JMODs (except spawning the tool to unpack a file and then indexing an exploded directory, which would be slow and error-prone). Finally, they cannot be used at runtime."

Thanks for the detailed response! This explains.
