VI editor Navigation similar to Eclipse

I am used to eclipse/netbeans for coding. In eclipse If I want to go to the definition of a function I just hit F2 and it takes me to the definition and I can also return back to my current position. Does VI editor offer such flexibility? How do I do this in VI editor?

Use ctags to create a tags file, then use C-] to go to the definition, then C-T to go back. If you don't have a tags file, vim will try to find the definition without it. You can also use gd to go to its earliest use in the file, which is often the definition.
