You may also want to check the Project Build Properties.
Project -> Properties -> Java Build Path -> Libraries.
Select the library here to which your "other class" belongs to.
Expand the tree node. You will see a child node "Source Attatchment".
You can "Edit" (button on right pane) it to attach the source code location for it.
