when i hover the cursor over java class variables, there is pop-up tooltips

You want a hover to show you a definition of a primitive type? What would
you have it show? int for int, long for long, etc?

Ok. I misunderstood your post at first. I thought you wanted a javadoc popup
on the primitive type which wouldn't make much sense. So you want the hover
to show the type of the variable. And you probably also want a source-hover
available as well. This would probably be good for the sake of consistency
since class vars provide this hover info.

File a bug report as an enhancement.
