Why some of my source files are greyed out [message #1830775]

So I'm not sure if it has to do with the version of the eclipse that I'm using but some files are totally greyed out (no syntax coloring) and can't even get to the definition of a certain variable/function by hovering over it while pressing CMD key (mac), which is super annoying.
Does anyone know what might be wrong?

When you right-click on a problematic file in the Project Explorer and expand the Open With menu, which editor is set to open?

Are the greyed-out files excluded from the current build configuration?

the grey out file means the file is excluded from the build.

The greyed/striked out file means the file is excluded from the build.
