Why isn't eclipse displaying any information

I am using Eclipse IDE for Java. I need to know, let's say, I am to use the Random class. When I hover onto the Random class, it doesn't display me any information like the "the random class is used to creating random integer", or is this like a buy in EclipseAs you can see the on the right side it show blank is this what it meant to show or the meaning of the random class

Is this how it meant to be? Please help, I am new to programming.

Other way to display detailed information of the methods, class, declaration... when you hover over in Eclipse is to press CTRL while you hover.

If you're speaking about the popup tooltip that displays information about an item; Go to Window > Preferences > Java > Editor > Hovers.

If you're speaking about the javadoc of a class; Go to Window > show view > javadoc in javadoc view, right click and open attached javadoc to display the javadoc.
