I'm using SonarLint 1.3 in Eclipse Mars. My problem is when there's an SonarLint issue it prevents every other tooltip from appearing.
Example: as you can see tooltip for Hashtable is not shown because of SonarLint hint.
Is there a way to show both Eclipse tooltips and SonarLint hints?
This is standard Eclipse behavior that problem marker tooltips will have higher priority than JDT Hover tooltips.
If you want to force JDT tooltips to be displayed it is possible using some keybord shortcuts. Look in Eclipse preferences for Java -> Editors -> Hovers
For example to see the Javadoc tooltip that is displayed on Hashtable when there is no SonarLint issue you should press Ctrl+Shift
Example:
The simplest solution I found is to "show view" javadoc. By doing this you will be able to see SonarLint tooltip and the code fragment-related javadoc in the javadoc view when you placed your cursor inside the code fragment. Yes, this is NOT actual "hovering", I know, but this is the only way I found so far.

I recently upgraded Ubuntu to 18.04 and starting using Eclipse Photon (Fresh package).
When I hover over a class or a method to view it's Javadoc, and then click on the tooltip, the tooltip disappears. This didn't happen before and I've been using Eclipse and Ubuntu for many years.
This also happens while inspecing a variable. I expect the tooltips to stay visible as they used to before.
I attached 2 screencasts to demonstrate.

I want to disable this. It is keep on populating while coding. I am using Eclipse Oxygen version.

Why you would want to do this is beyond my understanding, but anyways..
Uncheck the Combined Hover in Preferences->Java->Editor->Hovers.
I am Using Eclipse for android, I have installed SDK ADT bundle. While coding, some times I need to know description of Classes, Methods etc. When I hover my mouse over class, method definitions, it does not show the tooltip, after some time it begins to show it. This goes on and off. Can anyone help me solve this problem? Thanks!!
Go to Window > Preferences > Java > Editors > Hovers
select Combined Hover.
You can restart Eclipse for good measure.
The eclipse documentation says that the method
IWorkbenchPage.hideEditor(IEditorReference ref)
will "remove an open editor, turn it into a non-participating editor". But what does non-participating mean? Is the plugin still running in the background? Is it still possible to programmatically access the EditorPart of the hidden editor in another plugin?
If I had a GEF editor and would hide it using hideEditor(), would it still be possible to render an overview of the diagram?
Looking at the Eclipse Kepler implementation of IWorkbenchPage the hideEditor method does nothing except logging an unsupported message if debugging is enabled.
On Eclipse when i point the mouse up to a method it shows the method's comment (java doc), is there any way to do some thing like that in netbeans (7.3) without putting the cursor in the method middle and hitting Ctrl + Space?
Thanks in advance!
You can view the javadoc in Netbeans by clicking on the method and press Ctrl+Shift+Space.
Here You have more NetBeans shortcuts.
It is supported in NetBeans 8.
