Is it or should it be possible to find e.g. a js file insight a jar file?

Jar file is in my build path and in workspace/lib folder.
For me it was not possible to search for "name:foofile"
In preferences I only see option for "JAR source attachments".
tried with eclipse mars

It is possible but you need to re-build the index after enabling 'JAR source attachments'

Thanks, it finds the class file but the .js file is still not found:

a name with a hint would help a bit, see #77

I also encountered the same issue. I want to search a xml file which is contained in a jar file by filename. I enabled 'JAR source attachments (beta)' and rebuild the index, however, the xml file still does not show up in the search results.
