Eclipse Oxygen project linking to class files instead of source files

I have 3 Java projects in my workspace in Eclipse (Oxygen). The projects are A, B and Utils. The Utils project is used by both A and B. If I go into the Java Build Path for either of those projects, I can see the Utils project listed under the Projects tab option (required projects on the build path).

If I hold ctrl key and hover over functions, classes etc. that belong to Utils project from a source file in project A, then the links take me to the relevant source file in Utils project. If I do the same in project B, it always attempts to open the class file, not the source.

Is there something else I need to configure in project B to link the source files in Utils?

Make sure, in the Java Build Path of project B, in the tab Libraries, the bin/class folder of the Utils project is not added as a class folder. The dependency to the Utils project should be defined in the Projects tab only.
