I'm teaching myself java using Eclipse on Opensuse and when I need math/science functions, I like to add them to the comments.
Being somewhat pedantic I prefer to type it in form, so I would to know if there is a way for me to easily add super and sub script in comments in Eclipse?

Technically it'll be rendered as web pages when you generate a JavaDoc site, and show as such in the Eclipse UI. You'll want to be extra careful not to write broken HTML in your JavaDoc.

The only thing you can really do is copy+paste characters from somewhere (like a Word doc or a web page) into the Eclipse editor. Be mindful of the character encoding that's being used for your files, and as Nitin said make sure it doesn't look screwy in the rendered JavaDoc.

Thanks Nitin & Eric
I kind of figured that was the case - just making sure there wasn't a lazy way to placate my pedanticity ;/
As for encoding I stay with UTF-8 so hopefully using something closer to native with a big overlap with Eclipse, like kate, keeps the gremlins dry.
Again ta for the response.

As a final word:
a small program in KDE called KCharSelect allows you to add super/sub script to your comments - howsoever Eclipse gets real snarky if you try to add it to code ;}
