Open Declaration/Selection (F3) Doesn't Work on JSPs [message #542101]

So I love Eclipse, and love the Web Tools Project ... but I have a little problem. Whenever I try and use the Open Selection (aka Open Declaration) tool (more commonly known as CTRL+click or F3) on a JSP variable, Eclipse opens up the generated .java file for that JSP (instead of just taking me to the part of the JSP that declares the variable). Now if I F3 a class in a JSP, Eclipse does take me to that class, and similarly if I F3 a tag it takes me to either the .tag file or the related .tld file, as appropriate. So the only problem is just with variables declared in a JSP.

Has anyone ever seen this before, and if so do you have any ideas on how I could fix it?

I've seen it before, but not in Helios. Which release are you using?
