How to find Eclipse Extension Point's default implementation

Is there an easy way to navigate to the Class which currently implements a given extension point?

For example I am looking for org.eclipse.jdt.core.javaFormatter but I can't find the default implementation.

Open the "Search > Search..." dialog and select the "Plug-in Search" tab.

Enter the extension point to search for in the "Search string" field - org.eclipse.jdt.core.javaFormatter in this case.

Set "Search for" to "Extension point", "Limit to" to "Refererences", "Scope" to "Workspace"

It's org.eclipse.jdt.internal.formatter.DefaultCodeFormatter.

With PDE installed, you only have to open the plugin.xml file declaring that extension point, and on the Extension Points tab of the editor, select that one and click the "Find references" link under the Extension Point Details section.
