spring ide and ref hyperlink click doesn't work if bean is defined in different file

when I have a bean

  <bean name="myBean" class="mypackage.myBean">
    <property name="otherBean" ref="otherBeanRef" />
  </bean>

and I click on otherBeanRef I'm redirected to definition of otherBeanRef, however this only works if its in the same file.

how to configure spring ide to also support other spring files?

  • You need to add both files to the Spring Spring Config File Set.
