I just installed the Scala IDE Eclipse plugin with a fresh install of Eclipse Indigo. I followed the getting started youtube video on the scala-ide.org main page on a fresh installation of Indigo. Instead of showing the complete documentation for the String Java class, it shows “type String = String”
I did notice incidentally by looking at the project properties, that in the scala-library.jar and others in the project, under “javadoc location,” they show “(None) – non modifiable.” I’m not sure if this is the problem, or if the Scala editor gets its documentation somewhere else.
Has anyone else experienced this and/or figured out how to fix it? Thanks!
In addition to the bug that you’ve raised (Mouse hover doesn’t show documentation), there
are the following issues:
As you can see, the issue is a real bug, so there aren’t any workarounds at the minute. Sorry.
You could always fix it if you like 🙂
