Question

As title how would I place a hint or description on the object so that if a user hovers over the method or object they’ll get a description much like the standard library of objects that have explanations. I’ve searched everywhere but I’m unable to find an example.

Answer 1

You need to use JavaDoc comments, something like:

/**
 * This method returns the x value.
 * 
 * @return the x value
 */
public int getValue()
{
    return x;
}
