Description Alexey Kuznetsov CLA 2007-07-25 22:48:04 EDT 
It will be greate help for newbe developers if some context sensetive help for java reserved key words would be included to Eclipse help system. As a matter of fact Visual Age for Java 3.5 has such help. May be it is possible to import that help to Eclipse?

If somebody wants tp write and contribute such documentation we could add it. No plans from our side.
Comment 2 Alex Blewitt CLA 2007-07-26 13:08:59 EDT 
What about changing the keywords to 'helpwanted' and 'bugday', Martin? Sadly, I can't.

I don't understand you Martin. As I see from your e-mail you are from IBM and as I mentioned in my pos IBM Visual Age for Java already has all what I suggest. It is possible to convert VAJ documentation into eclipse format?

VAJ is an IBM product. It takes a bigger process when parts of a product are donated to open source. I don't exactly what the process for this would be. I think it would be much easier to write such documentation new or find already available documentation to integrate.
Setting the helpwanted keyword.
