In Net beans, we can open the declaration of anything by pressing "Ctrl" and clicking on the target (whether it be a CSS file or method or anything else). How can we do the same in Eclipse ?

I saw several posts on internet that suggests pressing F3 on method name, but it doesn't seem to work for me.

Any idea ?

    Did you try ctrl+Click in eclipse? it should work if you were to listen to [these](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4706915/eclipse-inverse-of-f3-alt-left-doesnt-always-work) guys. So should f3. If they don't, try restarting eclipse. – A. Abramov Aug 13 '15 at 05:39
  • I recently moved from Netbeans to Eclipse and obviously as my first mistake, I tried doing Ctrl+click but it didn't work. I have also restarted eclipse but no use. This is one of the reason I love Netbeans from the depths of my heart – HelmBurger Aug 13 '15 at 05:42

You can always do it manually, via the menu: Navigate -> Open declaration:

Example

Instead of you though, I'd try taking a short brief look to the past:

-Ensure you set everything in the workspace right:

like so

-If that doesn't work, try to start over with the -clean parameter, as described here;

-And if everything fails you and you've come to the point where nothing else matters, you can reinstall it. Everything will be reset to default and it then, should, work.
