NetBeans Find in Java Libraries doesn't work

[alehro]

I'm new to Java. What I'm doing:
- Created a project.
- Added some jar files as libraries.
- Right click on particular library and choose "Find..."
- It finds nothing: "No matching files were found". Even if I'm searching for "*".

Please, help. I'm feeling seek of it.

Product Version: NetBeans IDE 6.9.1 (Build 201007282301)
Java: 1.6.0_22; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 17.1-b03
System: Windows 7 version 6.1 running on amd64; Cp1251; ru_RU (nb)

I'm guessing that this is a text search, and you're searching through a jar
file (which is sort of a zip file of class files - which are byte-compiled
source files).

In the Libraries view, you can click on the caret to the left of the library
and expand the view. That way you can scroll through each of the classes
in a particular jar.

You should be able to open individual class files (I've tried it on a few
imported jar files), and see the underlying code. You won't be able to
edit that code however.

I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish by doing a Find on a jar
file.

. . . . just my two cents.

i can search for files in a jar file -- but the jar file has to be expanded
in netbeans,
you have to pick a folder to search from , not the file.

not sure about searching contents of the files withing a jar

Finally I found what I wanted. It is "Navigate->Go to Type..." Thank you guys.
I'm sorry for bothering you.

Alex.
