In eclipse I am hovering over a method such as below:

DataParser.Breakup();

I am hovering over the breakup part with the mouse.  I am holding down the control key.

It shows to choices in the pop up rectangle button:

1)  Open Declaration
2) Open Implementation

What is the difference?

I would think that has something to do with a method defined by an interface. Is DataParser an implementation of an interface? When you choose "declaration" where Eclipse take you? Where did it take you when you choose "implementation"?  
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
