Eclipse > Java > open linked resources sources (.java instead of .class )?

Question

I have 2 projects, A and B

project B have in his build path > libraries the class folder of A (Eclipse also recognized that there is a "Source attachment" and added it.

Both A and B are in the same workspace.

When I Ctrl + click into a function of project A referenced into a file of B Eclipse open the .class file of A. But if I need to edit the .java version of that file I must manually look for the filename in project A and open it from project explorer.

There isn't an easier way to go from a linked resource to -> .java file of his source or to go from .class to .java in easier way than manually expand folders and open the file?

Answer 1

Go to Project->Properties->Java Build Path.

In Order and Export keep all the src files on top and selected.

Eclipse will now pick .java over .class files

Answer 2

You can use Ctrl+Shift+T to open a search Dialog.

But you should add B as a dependent project of A (and remove it from the classpath).
