I remember that when my mouse hovered over some class/methods/fields, their source codes can be seen.

but now, in my eclipse, I can only see the java doc. and especially there is also color issue:

what can I do so that I can see the source codes of class/methods/fields when my mouse hover over them?

The preferences at Java > Editor > Hovers allow to assign modifiers to specific kinds of hovers.
By default Shift-hover is assigned for "Source".

Select the method , class or variable -> right click and select Search -> Occurrences in file ... You can assign expression statements to a new local variable or field.
