Information control of Java text hover [message #505303]

Hello.

I am looking for the source code of the information control of the Java text hover (the helper window that pops up when the mouse is over a class name for example in the IDE).
I would like to use something similiar in my RCP app, but I can't find the source. Can someone please point me in the right direction?

Regards,
Kai Schlamp

Are you referring to

package org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.text.java.hover.SourceViewerInfo rmationControl

It is part of the org.eclipse.jdt.ui project.

I am not quite sure. It uses a StyledText to present the information. I always thought (and also read it somewhere here) that the hovers in the Eclipse Java Editors use the Browser widget. The problem with SourceViewerInformationControl is that it doesn't support clickable links in an easy way (or does it)?

You are probably looking for JavaDocHover in the same package org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.text.java.hover.
