How to see from where a public method is called in Eclipse using Java?

I am working on a Java project in Eclipse. Sometimes when I do refactoring I would like to see from what other classes a public method is called.

There is a primitive way to do this, that I am using now. I can comment out the method and see in what classes there is an error in Eclipse. Is there any better way to do this in Eclipse? E.g. by selecting the method signature and run a command by a key-shortcut?

method-call keyboard-shortcuts eclipse java

Cntrl + Shift + G

This shows where the call is made along with the hierarchy.

Eclipse 4.23 (Feb. 2022, 12 years later) does add to this view with:

Show implementations of callee

The call hierarchy view can now show implementing methods as potential callee methods when viewing callees.

This behavior can be controlled from following preference
