Description tooltips next to completion proposals [message #289567]

Hi,

When JDT lists completion proposals for an item it also shows detailed
documentation for the selected item in a rather large tooltip window
placed next to the proposals.

I've implemented completion for my custom editor and now I would like to
add such tooltips too. I looked at the IContextInformation parameters
and interface but these seem to deal with the smaller param description
tooltips, but the full description tooltip placed next to the proposals.
Does anyone know where in the PDE/Eclipse documentation I should start
to look for help on implementing this behavior?

Regards,
martin
