Javadoc constructor/method signature readability [message #1870623] Wed, 04 September 2024 11:16 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
Hi, is it possible to improve Javadoc view (both pop-up and static) to display constructor/method signatures? Making text bold is not about improving readability. For example, return type and method name could be at the same line and long list of arguments may go next line or even each argument on a new line with indentation. Package name, class name, parameter types, parameter names could differ by color to grasp it easily.
Is there any configuration to achieve that? If not, how could this be addressed?

What version of Eclipse are you using? IIRC improved JavaDoc formatting was added in Eclipse 2024-06.

Indeed )
This was annoying issue for years and after I tried to discuss this with Eclipse dev community I found that 2 months ago there was a release which has a fix.
Somebody was reading my thoughts )
Thanks a lot for your answers!

Started using new Eclipse and found that when pointing to method name it's (method) javadoc is displayed but when pointing to a parameter outer method's javadoc is displayed.
I would like to see the same method javadoc (I'm still on a method signature) with respective parameter highlighted somehow on a javadoc view to help with understanding and visualizing the method I'm scrutinizing in the code.
But this is definitely better then it was before.
