For convenience, and for consistency with Open Type, please support CamelCase in the Quick switch editor pane (Ctrl+E)

Interesting. Bug 334770 claims that this was fixed long time ago, but it also doesn't work for me.

i can confirm that it used to work and hasnt for a while now. not sure when that regression croped in.

did a quick check:

eclipse-rcp-oxygen-2-win32-x86_64 - still works
eclipse-jee-2018-12-R-win32-x86_64 - not anymore

i have no version between those at my fingertips, so it's a starting point for the next to zone in.

It is a regression* from bug 531746. The Open Type dialog has no auto wildcard and the used SearchPattern (at least used for Ctrl+E) support either pattern search or CamelCase search, not both. The change to make every search a pattern search disabled CamelCase search.
Also note that bug 549254 did not worked in my short test using CamelCase search.

*depends on someones preferences

It surely goes beyond the scope of this bug, but someone might want to look at Intellij's handling of this which offers a kind of flexible/fuzzy match in contexts like this - letting you use camel or not, letting you skip a word without getting tripped up, and doing a better job of finding what you're looking for even when you don't remember the name quite right.
