Hello!
Sometimes I have in my project libraries that ship without source code, only html JavaDoc is available.
Is it possible to force the Javadoc View and the tooltip that pops-up when above a method to use the javadoc (given in the library’s Javadoc Location) when no Source attachement is given?NetBeans, contrary to (My)Eclipse, doesn’t require any source code and takes the information for tooltips directly from javadoc documentation. So I wonder how to arrange that in Eclipse? Or have I missed something?
Thank you very much!
This functionality is actually provided by the base JDT. I’m not aware of them supporting parsing out the javadoc from the HTML just yet, but I hope they add it soon as you have a good point that it’s quite handy.
I just tried this on Eclipse 3.2 M6 and it seems to work. So it looks like this functionality will actually be in MyEclipse 5.0!
