I remarked that this new function only work with .java file but not with .class, even if I mount the javadoc of these .class. For me, I find that a little annoying. If I have only external API (without source) and the Javadoc of the API, I can't be helped by this function. And it's a little disappointing. Svata answer me the following: "I think that's because the Editor uses Java Hierarchy APIs to get the javadoc text. The current implementation is able to extract the javadoc from /** */ comments in the source, but Clazz module (which implements the API for .class files) is not so sophisticated, so it just returns "no javadoc". Again, a feature request would remind us to see to that Clazz and Javadoc modules integrate and cooperate :-)" So here is the enhancement request
Cleaning up
Target milestone was changed from not determined to TBD
I guess whatever this was, it is no longer an issue in 4.0.
