I was facing the same problem. I had a project where i was able to use this, but not in my other project. After looking around I found the reason, my new project was not set as a php project, and hence I was not getting the function locations etc. Here is what I did to fix the problem.

  1. In eclipse, on your project, do RMB (right mouse button click).
  2. Look for "Configure" menu. Click on it.
  3. One of the options given to you will be "Add PHP support...", click on that.

And VOILA.. you have the lovely hover hyper link working for your project all over again.

It's either in

  • Java->Editor->Content-Assist->Advanced select PDE API Tools proposals
  • Java -> Editor -> Hovers (as described before) Click on "Restore Defaults"
  • PHP -> Editor -> Hovers
  • also check settings in PHP -> Editor -> Content Assist

If all this didn't work perhaps start eclipse with -clean parameter or reinstall? hope this helps and is not to late

You should restore Hovers to default.

See your Eclipse Preferences:

Java -> Editor -> Hovers

Click on "Restore Defaults"
