I am new to Eclipse. When I hover over a Class a yellow pop-up appears
with Press F2 for Focus. I press F2 and a larger, EMPTY, yellow pop-up
appears. How do I configure Eclipse to make this feature work?

If you add javadoc comments to the class then you should see them in the
yellow box.

1. You need jdk-1_5_0-doc.zip and src.zip; If you don't have them,
download them from sun's site http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp
2. Eclipse: Windows -> Preferences -> Java -> Installed JRE's , check
and select jre1.5.0_06 press Edit... and the "Edit JRE" window pops up.
3. In the "Edit JRE" window uncheck "Use default system libraries"
4. In the list expand the "rt.jar" entry
5. Select "Source attachement" , press Edit and enter the full path to
the "src.zip" file (eg: C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.5.0_06/src.zip )
6. Select "Javadoc location", press Edit and enter the full path to the
"jdk-1_5_0-doc.zip" file

To see a simplified Javadoc explanation when you hover your mouse over a
class/method you need only the source code to be installed (that is
src.zip). Of course, if you install Javadoc too, as described above, you
can get more detailed using SHIFT+F2.

Just a note of encouragement - I don't know a solution to your problems,
but I am running Eclipse on a small memory (256MB) Toshiba Tecra 8000
(this is a PII). Amazing that it is quite responsive. The virtual memory
manager of Linux is quite good!
