How to find declaration of string resource in Android project using Eclipse ADT

Question

When I use Android Studio, I can right-click on a string resource variable and choose Goto->Declaration in order to open the XML string resource file where it is defined. When I try to "open declaration" using Eclipse ADT, it opens the "R" file instead.

How can I get Eclipse ADT to do the same behavior as Android Studio?

I think ADT doesn't include this feature. Would be happy to be proven wrong though :) — matiash

Control-click on the variable and it should then open a popup menu with the XML file(s) where the resource is defined.

Just select the desired XML file and voila.
