Is anyone aware of an eclipse plugin that updates the tooltip on hover over a method/class to include annotation information?
There a few libraries we are using that have annotated methods and it would be handy if I could hover over the method and see what has been applied. I realize this would only work with annotations that have been retained but that is good enough.
I ma not aware of any current plugin, but the upcoming Eclipse Helios will include a similar feature:
Since Eclipse 3.6 M7 – New and Noteworthy (April 30, 2010):
Javadoc hovers include annotation
Javadoc hovers render
{@value}
