F2
it takes a bit sometimes - busy cursor makes the ui feel more responsive
Comment 1 nachiketa sahoo CLA 2002-06-05 23:27:14 EDT 
F2 key for javadoc is not working!!!

1.Install build F2.
2.Create a large project (i faced this problem for a project with around 900 
java files)
3.build
4.browse to a java file.
5.place the cursor on any variable or method, and hit F2 key.
6.nothing comes up. i was expecting a yellow pop up with javadoc.

it is coming up for one of my old projects, but not for any new project that I 
am creating. i am running eclipse on a winNT machine.

thanx

this problem seems to depend on the screen resolution. when i changed my screen 
resolution to 1280x1024 from 1024x768 it started working, but then after 
sometime it stopped working.

F2 works for me on large projects in 07062002.

showing busy cursor has to be deferred to after 2.0

Chaning state from assigned later to resolved later. Assigned later got 
introduced by the last bug conversion and is not a supported Eclipse bug state.
Comment 5 Eclipse Webmaster CLA 2009-08-30 02:35:41 EDT 
As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
