Hello.
I am new to Java and Eclipse. I just installed the following Eclipse
environment:
Version: 3.0.0
Build id: 200310101454
with the Java SDK:
j2sdk1.4.1_02.
Everything seems functional except for one small thing that a Java newbie
like myself would really like - the method pop-ups. You know, those nice
windows that pops up explain what a methods is suppose to do, take as
parameters and return.
For example, say I type in:
String.
and wait a sec. I will get a window that pops up showing me a list of all
the String methods that I can use.
But, say I highlight valueOf() and wait a sec. I never get the second
window that tells me what this method does, what the parameter represents
and what will get returned.
I have the "Javadoc command" field (under Window -> Preferences) properly
set and I do get the javadoc for my methods when I position the cursor of
them but I am not seeing this for the core java methods.
Anyway, if anyone has come across this problem please feel free to email
the solution my way.
Thanks.
Michael

Hello, Eric.
Well it works. My problem was that in the "installed JREs" the path it
had was the default installation path of the SDK (C:\Program Files\etc..)
but I had installed the SDK on my D:\ drive under an entirely different
path. So, with the "Search" option in that window it found the proper JRE
and all is now fully functional.
Your help definitely made me try the right thing - first try! Thanks.
:)
