What is the shortcut key to back to the previous tab?

For example, after clicking open declaration, is there a shortkey which let me back to the previous tab?

Ctrl + Shift + L

to view all shortcuts and from them you can have your previous tab shortcut.

If you are talking about switching between open files, you can do this using Ctrl+PgUp and Ctrl+PgDn

If it is about navigating back & forth to the last modification, use Alt+⇨ (right arrow) and Alt+⇦(left arrow)

By next tab, you probably mean the "Previous File".

By default switching between open files (called "Editors" in eclipse parlance) can be done by Ctrl+F6 and Ctrl+Shift+F6

This is configurable, so if you find this combination inconvenient (like me) you can change it in the Preferences: General -> Keys. Look for Next Editor and Previous Editor

(I have mapped them to Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab.)
