Description
The Go To Definition as well as the Find References actions from the language server protocol that works nicely for Spring annotation attributes (e.g. @Qualifier("something")) in VSCode doesn't have any accessible actions in Eclipse when working on Java sources using the regular Java source code editor. We need to bring those actions there as well.
