Eclipse Indigo on OS X Lion, Java 'source' hover not working

Question

I'm running Eclipse Indigo on OS X Lion and it all seems to be working very well, except that I can't get the Java 'source' hover to work properly. Regardless of what I configure in the Java -> Editor -> Hovers section in Preferences the hovers I get are the following when hovering over a method name:

• Hover with no modifier key pressed: Javadoc (or message indicating no Javadoc available), despite the fact that the Javadoc hover is disabled.

• Hover with Command key pressed: popup menu allowing me to choose from Open Declaration or Open Implementation.

• Hover with Shift key pressed: should bring up the source of the method in a tooltip window, but brings up the Javadoc window instead (behaves as if no modifier key were pressed).

No matter what I do I can't get the 'Source' hover to work, even if that's the only hover action I have enabled and regardless of what modifier key I assign to it. This is a shame as the Source hover is by far the most useful IMO.

The problem doesn't occur with Indigo on Windows, so it appears to be an OS X specific issue.

Answer 1

After further research it appears this is a known bug: Eclipse Bug 357127. Will be fixed in 3.7.2.
