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.

Is it possible to have IntelliJ/Cursive display a pop-up with s-form's definition and documentation when that s-form is hovered over with a mouse, like it's done in Eclipse? Ctrl+Q seems to bring up the window, but I'd like for it to open up automatically without me hitting a shortcut. Is this a configurable setting or something? Also, what is a similar key combination to bring up a source pop-up?
Thank you in advance.
No, there's no way to do this automatically on hover. You can see the source pop-up using View->Quick Definition - the keybinding will depend on the keymap and platform you're using. The keybinding should be shown in the menu, otherwise you can search for "Quick Definition" in Settings->Keymap.
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.
This info window you see down here appears every time some CSS property or HTML attribute is written. The one on the top contains documentation about that element, and I dont want it to appear as it is very annoying when coding.
How can I make it not appearing? I've searched on Tools - Hints but cant fins this option.
Tools->Options->Code Completion tab
Remove checkbox from "Auto popup documentation window"
Netbeans 8.2
Tools -> Options -> Editor -> Code Completion -> Auto popup documentation window
Click on Tools--->Java Platforms.
Classes tab will be open by default,please switch it to Javadoc tab!
There will be a manual entry for javadoc like http:\\docs.oracle.com/java/api/...,kindly click on Remove button,close this window and then restart Netbeans IDE!!!
This effect will be done and you won't be seeing any popups!
If it doesn't help,please leave a comment!
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

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:
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.
Show Javadoc as tooltip while hovering (Note: hold CTRL-key) (Issue 95691)
