[GitHub] [netbeans] matthiasblaesing commented on issue #5120: "Navigate > GoToDeclaration" fails if target is in gradle project

From my experience the maven approach is sane: If the project version matches the dependency version, then "Goto Declaration" takes you into the project. If it does not match, it goes to the source associated with the dependency.
1. Clone `https://github.com/mwiede/jsch.git`
2. Open the `jsch` project
3. Create a new maven project
4. Add a dependency on [com.github.mwiede:jsch:0.1.72](https://search.maven.org/artifact/com.github.mwiede/jsch/0.1.72)
5. Download sources for dependency
6. Create a `main` method, insert `System.out.println(JSch.VERSION);`
7. Invoke "Goto Declaration" on `VERSION`
You are taken to the read-only version of the source, you downloaded in step 5.
8. Checkout the tag `jsch-0.1.72`
9. Go back to your `main` method and invoke "Goto Declaration" again
You are taken to the checked out file.
For me this is the logical approach and works beautifully. When I have this situation where I have the same version checked out in a project, I'm not interested in the generated source jar, but the live code, as that is what I'm working on.
So without a very convincing argument changing the maven behavior would be a regression in my mind.
