How to jump to super implementation in Eclipse

Question

Given the code segment:

@Override
public String someMethod()
{
  return "foo";
}

Is there a way in Eclipse to quickly jump to the implementation in super? Since it's annotated with @Override, I would think Eclipse would know how to do this.

For now as a clunky work-around, I'll type in "super.someMethod();" as the first line (even though I don't need it), click on the method name on that line, and hit F3.

I'm using Eclipse 3.4.1 (Ganymede) for Solaris.

Answer 1

You can use the shortcut key: Alt + N, S

Answer 2

There should be a little hollow arrow on the left of the method invocation line for the implementation of an interface method, and a little solid arrow on the left of the method invocation line for the implementation of a method override.

Left clicking on the hollow arrow takes you to the interface method.

Left clicking on the solid arrow takes you to the method that's overridden.

Answer 3

I like Alt+N, S as Reimeus wrote. Another option that doesn't require your cursor to be in the function in question is to use the pop-up outline view:

• Ctrl-O to open outline
• Ctrl-O to show inherited members
• Type method name to find it
