3.2 M6 Similar to bug 119844: When member javadoc is extracted from attached javadoc (as opposed to from attached source), there is some additional information included that is generated by the javadoc tool: - a title consisting of the member name (e.g. "currentThread") - the repetition of the entire member declaration including modifiers and (for methods) the return type and arguments (e.g. "public static Thread currentThread()") - the actual javadoc body is indented - a horizontal ruler (<hr> tag) after the javadoc While this additional HTML is not as bad as the hierarchy for type javadocs (see bug 119844), I still think it would be cool to get as close to what we get when extracting javadoc from source. Not sure if this is doable with all the different doclets out there... I will add screenshots that show the difference.

Unfortunately I cannot change it for method javadoc since the first part that you want to get rid of is used to retrieve the parameter names. However this could be done on the UI side. You can extract what is defined between the first <DL> and the last <HR>. This is the part that you want. Moving to JDT/Text for further investigation.
