Ctrl+click doesn't work in Eclipse Juno

For every version of Eclipse I've used prior to Juno, ctrl+click would find the declaration of a variable/class/method. It was an extremely useful feature when dealing with a large code base. How do I get Juno to do this?

Please check your .classpath file as well. Some times Eclipse do not redirect when using "ctrl+click" to Class or method if classpath is not proper. I had faced same issue in Eclipse Mars but it got resolved when I got proper .classpath file at my work location.

If the project is a Maven project, make sure that the java class you have open is inside src/main/java.

I had the exact same issue while working on a GIT based project. I was able to resolve by changing the way i was importing the project in the workspace.

Wrong way : Import project to workspace from GIT perspective , like right click on the GIT URL and selecting the option import which was not recognizing the project facets.

Right way (which resolved my issue): clone the project in GIT perspective , change to JEE Perspective , then import from file > import > Existing Maven Project .

Go to

Window -> Preferences -> General -> Editors -> Text Editors -> Hyperlinking

and be sure that

Enable on demand hyperlink style navigation

is checked.

I had similar issue, along with this I found that java build path in project properties was missing. Project pulled from repository did not had .project file and eclipse created a default .project file, I copied content of .project.xml from other working project and removed the unsed imports, After which everything worked fine
