@gayanper What should I do if I want to inspect code performing a specific operation(Like to inspect code responsible for a bug).
I tried many solutions like launching the workbench in debug mode, using Plug In Spy etc, but still I cannot pin point which part of the code is responsible for the operation.

For example I want to know which part of code is responsible for displaying the Help Contents in the toolbar like
WorkBench User Guide, JDT Guide etc.I have been able to find that this documentation is being supplied by org.eclipse.platform.doc.user plugin but I don't know which plugin is responsible for displaying the Help Section from the toolbar.
Although I think it is in org.eclipse.ui.help plugin.

I would like to know the workflow the developers follow to inspect code for the platform to simplify the process of bug fixing, code inspection etc.
