Let's assume I'm working in a large java servlet project somebody else
created.
(1) How do I find a function implementation if I know the name of the
function and maybe the name of the ancestor interface but not the name of
the implementation class?
(2) How do I find a class definition if I know the class name but not the
package name?
(3) How do I find a file if I know the file name but not the directory path?

Thanks,
Siegfried

Ctrl+shift+T will give you the Open Type dialog, where you can easily
locate any class/interface in your workspace.
To answer (1) above: Open the interface, then right-click the method and
choose Declarations > Workspace to find all classes that declare that
method.

Hope this helps,
Eric
