In Eclipse what is the difference between "Open Type"/"Open Resource"?

Question

Can any one please tell me the difference of "Open Type" (Ctrl + Shift + T) and "Open Resource" (Ctrl + Shift + R) in eclipse.

Answer 1

"Open Type" lets you open any class, interface, or other compiled module no matter where it is located. "Open Resource" does the same thing for non-classes, etc (things like config files, images, etc).

Basically, both commands let you find different files quickly without having to search through the tree and directory structure.

Answer 2

Types are language-related such as classes (and usually in the include paths), Resources are simply just files.
