In Eclipse if I press F3 or open declaration on a reference that is in one of my libraries, it opens a read only copy of the code.
I thought this quite useful at first as reminds me that it’s library code and changes could affect more projects. But I find it a pain to have to go and manually find the .java file if I do want to edit.
Can I either: a) make it always open the related .java file, or b) once readonly copy is open, quickly get to the editable .java file.
If you have the dependent library open as a Java project within Eclipse, you can add the project to the build path. ( Right click on project -> properties -> java build path -> Projects -> Add).
Under the Order and Export section, make sure the project is above the library.
After doing this when you press F3, the .java file will open.
