Description Petr Dvorak 2008-09-02 13:23:04 UTC 
Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200809010201)
Java: 1.6.0_10-rc; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 11.0-b14
System: Windows Vista version 6.0 running on x86; Cp1250; cs_CZ (nb)

Suppose you have following code and JavaDoc hits are displayed as "Warnings on Current Line":

//>>>>>>>
package javaaplication1;

public class NewClass {
    
   /*1*/p/*2*/ublic static int number(int i) {
            return i;
        }
}
//<<<<<<<<

(Where /*X*/ are just my markers - remove them when you paste the code).

When you place a caret to the position 1, no JavaDoc hint is shown, when you place it to position 2, hint is shown
correctly. I believe that when the option is called "Warning on Current Line", position 1 should work as well...

Maybe this issue is invalid and the behavior is as designed - in this case the option should be renamed. However, it
really is a minor issue...

Yes, it is as designed, but the design is awkward and this issue valid. The behavior is based on javac trees and their position inside source, so it should be 
probably renamed to 'warning on current tree', but that would not make sense for other languages. It should be redesigned somehow.

This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.
