Eclipse Checkstyle Plug-in

5 Javadocs not displayed when mouse hovers over a java element - ID: 1600492
Last Update: Comment added ( lkoe )

After installing the Checkstyle plugin, I do not get javadocs displayed
when I hover mouse over an element that is highlighted due to "mark
occurrences" option.

1. Toggle Mark Occurrences ON
2. select a java element (class member for example)
3. hover the mouse over the element

Instead of javadocs for the element, all you get is a tooltip that displays
the
selected elment name.

In order to see the javadoc for the element, the developer must select
some
other element so that the desired element is not highlighted, then hover
the
mouse over the element.

Please see Eclipse bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=165194
for reference.

Fix confirmed. Thanks for the quick turnaround.

FWIW, it did not take that long to isolate, just had to restart eclipse
about 6 times.

I keep every plugin in its own extension folder, so it is easy to add and
remove plugins from the configuration. In this case, I removed all
extension folders, then added them one at a time and restarted eclipse for
each add. Fortunately, checkstyle was the 5th one so it was discovered
fairly soon.

Bugfix committed to CVS Head.
Please replace the CheckstyleHover.class (package
com.atlassw.tools.eclipse.checkstyle.builder)in from the
CheckstylePlugin.jar (in plugins/com.atlassw...checkstyle/) to test if th
problem goes away (my own tests looked good).

Good work spotting this bug and narrowing it down to the Checkstyle
plugin, that must have been quite hard.

The fix will be included in the next maintainance release (4.1.2).
