I have in test.scala lines:

  
override def paintComponent(g: Graphics): Unit = {
}

When I hover over Graphics-word, it shows "java#11.awt#55.Graphics#32603".
What are those (bolded) numbers behind #-marks?
How to get rid of them?

And how to get hover to show something more, like Javadoc of the class-name?

I know, I can get Javadoc by selecting (left-clicking) the "Graphics"-word and then Shift+F2, but is there some easier method to get there, or get Javadoc in hover-window or straight into Javadoc-view (bottom subwindows, MainMenu>Window>Show View>Other>Java>Javadoc)?

I have tried to find something like "show Javadoc" in context menu of Eclipse editor, but there is no such thing. Any way to configure it there to context-menu?

Or I can CTRL+click "Graphics"-word and get the source code of Graphics.class, where I can see in Javadoc view the selected parts of Javadoc-source code, and there Shift+F2 will once again open Javadoc in editor-browser.
