Description Philipe Mulet

Build 20030129

It would be useful to get the hover help for types in hierarchies as well, this 
would feel quite natural to get it to work there as well (in particular it 
contains information I often miss like fully qualified type names)

The latest build contains a "Show Qualified Type Names" action in the view's 
menu. 

Philippe, what else should the hover help show. 

If we add more hover information it should be consistent with the Package 
Explorer, Outline, ...

No action planned to change this for 2.1

All I was asking for is the similar type of hover I get inside a Java editor.
But now I see the option, I agree I can live without it (though it might be 
useful to see javadoc).

I agree on the "usefullness". But 2.1 is very close...

It would be nice if we could show javadoc hovers on IJavaElements in views too. I've seen hovers on tree and table items in other Eclipse-based products, and it felt quite "natural".

As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
