Hi experts,

I have recently updated my eclipse for Java Development to release 2024-03

I am running on a Linux desktop, the version of Java I have installed is as follows

$ java --version
openjdk 21.0.2 2024-01-16
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 21.0.2+13-Ubuntu-122.04.1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 21.0.2+13-Ubuntu-122.04.1, mixed mode, sharing)

When I open a JAVA class file and hover on something such as a class name or method I am expecting to see a pop up box with the corresponding javadoc information

I do get the pop up box but it is empty.

Please advice on how to fix this issue.

Thanks a lot!
