This just happened to me:

1) Added the org.eclipse.ui.editors as a plugin dependency
2) Did a find type to find IAbstractTestEditorHelpContstantIds
3) It opened in the editor and the syntax highlighting did not include
the fields (i.e. they were not blue), however the comments and java
syntax (e.g. public interface) were properly colored.
4) I tried to right-click on a field and do a search for references and
it a dialog that said "The operation is unavailable on the current
selection. Please select a valid Java element name".

I run into this every now and then on various classes.

I'm pretty sure this is a user error on my part, but I don't know what
to do to have the object loaded such that it is really treated like a
full java file.

TIA,

Francis

You're probably burned by
