Newbie needs help: How does javadoc capture highlighting??? NEED HELP REAL BAD! [message #227387] Fri, 07 April 2006 05:27 Go to next message

I'm still pretty sure that there is a feature in eclipse that when you
place mouse cursor or caret on top of method, class or variable it gets
highlighted and all occurrences in the file is highlight, altough I'm
starting lose my fate on this and thinking that I'm dreaming about this.
Now when this highlighting happens javadoc for the method/class/variable
is shown in the javadoc view, if it has javadoc available.

No I've searched eclipse.org, several forums, google and eclipse help for
this feature, but found nothing usefull. Now what I'm trying to do is same
kind of feature as javadoc, but giving different information. I've got the
view ready and most of the logic for displaying the data I want. Now what
I am missing is the feature that ie. method gets highlighted I would
receive information about this same way as javadoc view does.
At this point I'm so lost that ANY help appreciated. If someone knows for
100% or even for 95% sure what this feature is officially called please
let me know. Pointing me to the right direction would help me alot. I've
been fighting with this for a week no and used all the search words I
could come up with, but nothing, absolutely nothing in the end. This is
either a feature that everybody knows or some superhiddenneedtoknowbases
feature that nobody wants to talk about.

Hi,

Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but it sounds similar to the
'Mark Occurrences' feature. You can toggle this by using Alt+Shift+O.
There's also a toolbar button.

Obviously for complete documentation you can search in Eclipse Help.

HTH,
Toshio

This should work out of the box if you're using the Java editor. Is the
yellow marker in the tool bar present and checked?
