How do I get tooltip help from Netbeans 7.3?
And side-by-side dropdown boxes which divert me to the correct classes and methods?
Thanks
Jack
You can get tooltip help from the IDE by hovering a line that has some sort of light bulb on the left of your code like below:
Then Pressing Alt-Enter the IDE will give you a list of suggestions of how you can improve/modify your code.
Also you can get the auto complete functionality by pressing CTRL+SPACE in the code editor. This will bring up any javadoc information about the Method/Object/etc like below:

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 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.
I have simple problem!
Is there any option in this ide like auto popup documentation window in netbeans or quick documentation lookup in IntelliJ idea?
Thanks very much!
Press F2 when you are on a method, class name etc and Eclipse will display a pop-up containing documentation. You can also hover over them with your mouse to get the same information.
when I hover over the codes in ECLispe Editor it pops up this yellow hint box for everything that I am on it to show some useful info about it. well it is cool but it is also annoying! is there a way that I can deactivate it as Default setting and then anytime I needed it I hit a hot-key to bring it up...
If you go:
Window->Preferences
In the tree look for "Hovers" under Java->Editor->Hovers
You can uncheck all the ones you do not want, or add keyboard shortcuts to activate a Hover. Not particularly useful, but may help.
When I use Eclipse to code Java programs,
I can fold a block of codes, for example: a method or a comment.
And When I fold the block, there will be a "plus(+)" mark appearing on the left side of the editor in Eclipse.
If you hover your mouse over the mark, Eclipse will pop-up a frame showing those folded codes.
I feel it's annoying, but I can not find an option to disable it.
Is there an option to disable it?
thanks, mate!
I don't think this can be disabled right now (Eclipse 3.5)
You can disable popup on "javadoc hovering" (sort of), but not on folder marks.
