Hi all,

whenever I open the Javadoc view I don't see anything in it! .. I guess
I don't know how to use Javadoc view. Searched for javadoc view in
eclipse help but no use. I couldn't find anything in the preference
dialogue either.

Any help?

Have you tried clicking on a method name in your source code while the view
is visible?
The Javadoc view should be populated with the Javadoc comment. That assuming
you have written a Javadoc comment for this method.

Thanks. So, it's basically javadoc hover text in a new view of it's own
... right ? or is there more to it?

That's as much as I see to it. There may be more but I didn't look further.

Yes, there is:
- uses the Browser (html) widget to show the Javadoc (currently not
available on Linux-GTK)
- shows Javadoc of selected element without being open in the Java
editor (e.g. from Package Explorer)
