hello,
i added a couple of user libraries to my code (javamail and jaf). i
attached javadocs to the jar files, and they verify properly. but when i
hover over something or use code completion i don't get any javadocs.
strangely, when i hit shift-f1, i DO get the javadocs in the browser.
javadocs for the jdk show up fine.
i'm sure this has been answered before, but i can't find it. if it
matters, i'm running eclipse 3.1, jdk 1.5, suse linux 9.3, and i do NOT
attach source to the jars--only javadocs. any help would be appreciated.
thanks,
alvin

Source code hover windows are driven by source not by javadoc. You need
to attach source for the hovers to show anything.

Hi Alvin,
I could not agree more! Not wanting to start a NetBeans food fight here,
but it does this really well and simply.
My suggestion to simplify the whole thing is this:
Just like there is a Libraries tab, have a "Javadoc" tab, where you can
put all the javadocs you want to have visible, either globally, or at a
project level.
The current system of adding Javadoc JARs to a Library entry is firstly
not well documented and secondly it is counter intuitive.
Lastly, PLEASE add a Javadoc option on the context menu under right
click. I would expect on right clicking a object, method, etc. to have a
javadoc option where I can see the FULL javadoc (open it in a browser if
need be), but going to the method/thing in question. (Sorry to mention
it again, but NetBeans does this and it is really logical).
I am recent user of eclipse coming from NetBeans, hence my questions. I
am not arguing for eclipse to become NetBeans, rather there are good
ideas in both ideas which should cross pollinate.
Thanks,
Peter

I strongly disagree - it is very intuitive to me to associate source
and/or Javadoc at the library (JAR) level. Source and Javadoc
attachments are properties of the library itself, so they are associated
that way.
Also, doing it that way makes it nice when you have more than one
project sharing the same set of JARs - you only have to associate the
source or Javadoc one time.

Shift+F2 is for that.
Glad you're learning Eclipse, but take care not assume that just because
the keyboard shortcuts or menu placement is different than what you're
used to means Eclipse is somehow less capable.
