Find out where classes of a specific package are used in Java/Eclipse project

I have a number of Eclipse projects that are all using classes from a specific package, let's call it "gr.serafeim". Now, I want to find where (which line numbers of each file) in all my source files are the members of gr.serafeim are used. The problem is that I am usually using imports and not the fully qualified names of classes, so searching for "gr.serafeim" will only return me the import statements :(

I don't want anything fance, just a quick and dirty solution to find out all the lines containing classes of the gr.serafeim package (an eclipse plugin ?). As an added value, I don't want only the declarations but also the method calls of these function.

Here's an example of what I actually wanted:

// File main.java   
import gr.serafeim.*;
public static void main(String args[]) {
    // Test is a member of gr.serafeim !
    Test t = new Test(5);
    int i=3;
    t.add(i);
}

What I'd like to get as a return from the previous file would be something like this

main.java: 5: Test t = new Test(5); 
main.java: 7: t.add(i);

If the previous can't be done, then I could also go with a way to massively name qualify all my classes. So the statement

Test t = new Test(5);

would become

gr.serafeim.Test t = new gr.serafeim.Test(5);

and then I'd just grep for gr.serafiem. This of course won't help in finding the t.add(i) line but would be a good first step and I could go from there checking the code myself ...

This is not the same with this question!

Simply remove the package from your build path and the compiler starts showing error wherever it is used.

You can select class, constructor, method or field and press "ctrl + alt+ h". This opens the call hierarchy menu.

Here's a hack:

Mark the package as deprecated using a package-info.java file:

@Deprecated
package com.yourcompany.yourpackage;

Now you should see compiler warnings everywhere you use the package

Right-click -> References -> (whichever you want). For workspace references, Shift-Ctrl-G (by default, anyway).

I think the default results list is a tree, that can be changed to a list. I don't think it shows line numbers, however, at least in the slightly-dated version of Eclipse I'm using. If you're specifically looking for line numbers, I don't think the default tools have an export that includes them.

You might try the IntelliJ Community Edition; its searches do show line numbers, and results are exportable to a text file (fragment below).

Class
    server.UDPServer
Found usages  (44 usages)
    StartThread.java  (6 usages)
        (12: 19) private final UDPServer myserv;
        (14: 17) StartThread(UDPServer server){
        (18: 16) myserv.button1.setEnabled(false);
        (19: 16) myserv.button2.setEnabled(true);
        (30: 32) myserv.area.append("Server is started\n");
        (37: 36) myserv.area.append(" Received "
