The browse (Navigate) menu provides multiple menus that let you quickly navigate to the specified resource.

In the open type, open type in Hierarchy and open Resource three menu items are very useful.

Open Type

The Open Type menu item opens a dialog box where you can find the Java type file.

You can enter the class name lookup in the input box. ' * ' indicates 0 or more letters, '? ' indicates that a single letter can be used to specify the pattern. All matching patterns will be displayed in the dialog box.

You can select the file you are looking for in the list.

Eclipse opens an editor that displays the type you selected. If the selected type cannot display the source code, the class file editor is used to display the byte code of the selected type.

You can click the Attach Source button to view the corresponding source code for the class file.

The source code is located in the Src.zip compressed file in the Java home directory.

Open Type in Hierarchy

The Open Type in Hierarchy menu allows the user to view the class's inheritance hierarchy in the Type Hierarchy view.

Select the specified class in the type hierarchy view to see the definition information for the class, including the corresponding properties and methods:

Open Resource

The Open Resource menu can be used to find files in a workspace.
