CTRL+click to open method declaration doesn't work on Eclipse 3.5 (Galileo) [closed]

Question

In a J2EE project Ctrl+click on methods (usually only local methods, ones that belong to the same class) doesn't jump to that method declaration. The eclipse project was created using Gradle so that might be an issue, also when Eclipse starts the log has the following exception:

A handler conflict occurred. This may disable some commands. Conflict for 'org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.ui.edit.text.java.open.editor':HandlerActivation(commandId=org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.ui.edit.text.java.open.editor, handler=ActionHandler(org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.ui.actions.OpenAction@c5f6db), expression=AndExpression(AndExpression(org.eclipse.ui.SubActionBars$1@fdd15b,ActivePartExpression(org.eclipse.ui.navigator.resources.ProjectExplorer@38ba04)),WorkbenchWindowExpression(org.eclipse.ui.internal.WorkbenchWindow@1f528ab)),sourcePriority=1064961) HandlerActivation(commandId=org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.ui.edit.text.java.open.editor, handler=ActionHandler(org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.ui.actions.OpenAction@c5f6db), expression=AndExpression(AndExpression(org.eclipse.ui.SubActionBars$1@fdd15b,ActivePartExpression(org.eclipse.ui.navigator.resources.ProjectExplorer@38ba04)),WorkbenchWindowExpression(org.eclipse.ui.internal.WorkbenchWindow@1f528ab)),sourcePriority=1064961)

Does #697387 help? – Prolix

Not really, or I can't see how – Palaearctic

Did you install it from a zip file or through the Fedorapackage system – Mavilia

It can happen some times, just try restarting your eclipse. It should work. – Polyhymnia

Answer 1

it seems you didn't put the source code into your classpath. just right click you source code package and select "build path -> use as source folder"

For pydev project "PyDev -> Set as source folder" – Harappa

Answer 2

I could always just press F3.

Yes that works, but less desired :) – Palaearctic

cnotrol + click is way more popular – Stonewall

Answer 3

If your code contains error it will not let you to do ctrl+click to see the defination so... try to remove the errors first
