We use the annotations @javax.annotation.Nullable and @javax.annotation.Nonnull to document the behavior of method parameters.

Is it possible to show this annotations in the JavaDoc popup in Eclipse? I means the popup that occur if I move with the mouse over a method. Currently Eclipse show only the annotations of the method self but not of the parameter.

    As pointed out, the above is not for annotated parameters.

    If you hold down SHIFT before hovering over the method, it will show the annotations for the different parameters.
