Hi,

I am using the released version of Eclipse 3.3.2. On WINDOWS XP,
cursoring over a content assist proposal item, a tooltip is shown. But
not on Linux platform. I use Ubuntu. Thanks.

First thing is to make sure you are not running Eclipse on gcj - search
to find many (way too many) threads in this and the newcomer groups for
the details.

None that I found. I searched "tooltip", "content assist", and "gcj."
If you have the thread's subject or some keywords, I can search. Thx

It should be easy to find the relavant threads, but gcj is just too
common a term, I guess.
The gist is that running Eclipse on gcj has frequently been the root of
many linux users' Eclipse problems - lots of bizarre behaviors that
ended up being resolved by forcing Eclipse to use the Sun JVM.
You can use Help > About Eclipse > Configuration Details to check the
java.vendor and java.version of the JVM Eclipse is running in.
If it is gcj, force Eclipse to a Sun JVM installation by following the
instructions on this wiki page: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini

Hope this helps,
Eric

> cursoring over a content assist proposal item, a tooltip is shown

Are you referring to the tooltip that shows a long item's full text when you
hover over its visible portion? If so then you're seeing a difference
between the native Table controls. On win32 these tooltips are created
automatically for items that are longer than their parent shell, but on gtk
these tooltips are not auto-created. You should see the same difference if
you hover over long items in the Package Explorer view.

If this is not what you were referring to then you'll need to clarify here.

U answered it :-) How do I make the tooltip show up for content assist
proposals in the table?

Which content-assistent are you talking about? The one from the
Java-Editor or are you really talking about Table/TreeItems. If it is
Table/Tree then you can use JFace to show tooltips (native/emulated).

Java/Editor, basically ContentAssist in the jface text framework.

Is the Javadoc displayed in the Javadoc view? Any log entries?
