Reference Scanner Plugin for Java IDE's
Reference Scanner currently supports Eclipse and IntelliJ IDE's with plugins. If such a plugin is installed then source code links in Reference Scanner will be available. Clicking a source code link for fields, methods or classes brings the according declaration or implementation in the Java IDE to front.

Eclipse Plugin Installation
Open menu items:
Help -> Software Updates -> Find and Install -> Search for new features to install -> New remote site.

Enter Name: "Reference Scanner",
Url: http://jb2works.com/eclipse/update-site.

Install the offered features, restart the IDE and test the plugin (see below).

IntelliJ-IDEA Plugin Installation

http://jb2works.com/intellij-idea/config/plugins/.
