Question about showing tooltips of comment of my own method? [message #781343]

I wrote this method with comments on it:

	/*
	 * This method ...
	 * @param a the ...
	 * @return number
	 */
	public int abc (int a) {...}

In my other class, I want to be able to see those javadoc as a hint, like the @param, @return. How do I do that? The java library's doc works fine, but how do I get the ones I wrote working?

Thanks.

That should be working out of the box. Have you created a jar library
out of some of the code that you have written?

No, I haven't created any jar about the classes I wrote. Is that the reason? How do I do that?

Thanks.

Javadoc's start with /** and not with /*.
