The JDT provides easy access to Javadoc information for the code edited in the Java editor.
1. |
Open the Java editor on a Java file. |
2. |
Activate the editor by clicking its tab in the editor area. |
3. |
Make sure that the Show Text Hover button in the workbench toolbar is pressed (i.e., turned on). |
4. |
Place the mouse pointer over the element whose Javadoc information you want to view (e.g., the method name in a statement calling that method). |
5. |
If Javadoc information is available, then after a moment, a popup window appears and shows the Javadoc information. |
HTML Javadoc can be viewed as any other resource in the workbench, through an embedded or external editor or viewer. Import the Javadoc into the workbench and double-click it in the Packages view.
