Imagine the following lines in web.xml (or other xml file in project): <servlet> <servlet-class>com.tengry.rgs.view.servlet.InitServlet</servlet-class> </servlet> It would be great to make it possible by click Ctrl+Mouse button or F2 to go into java source
Changing severity back to "normal" since it's really your call, but isn't this more of an enhancement request than a normal bug?
Hyperlink navigation already exists for xml files, but it's only a generic one that opens links in attribute values and dtds/schemas referenced in tags. Maybe we need a special web.xml hyperlink detector? Or a framework that allows people to contribute hyperlink detectors associated with a dtd/schema/uri.
A framework has already been suggested (or at least the idea of having a framework) in bug 88293. Presumably one of the JST plugins would contribute this to the XML editor. Alternately, web.xml files specifically could do this using a custom content type and source viewer configuration.
I would definitely encourage a "contribution", so XML Editor itself doesn't have dependancy on JDT ... but some contribution ability will likely be a much requested feature.

Looks like this has been implemented for web.xml in the 5 years (almost to the day) since this was opened. F3 or Ctrl+Click will take you to the <servlet-class>
