Description Luciana Moreira CLA 2010-06-11 03:22:09 EDT 
Build Identifier: 20100218-1602

When pressing F3 in a class A in project 1 to open class B on project 2, I got the following error message:
"Current text selection cannot be opened in an editor"

At first I thought it was some class path issue caused by a corrupted zip file, see bug314887.

But this was not the case. It turns out that eclipse did not like the fact that I had classes in the same package but spread out in a jar and in the source of project 2. For some reason, this caused a problem with an inner class. I had to transform the inner class into a standard class. 

After doing this F3 worked again. Unfortunately there was not error generated in the error log.

Reproducible: Always
