Content Assist could show the default value for annotation type member references, or just indicate which members have a default.

E.g. when I do content assist in the argument list of "@Generated()", it would be interesting to see which members are required.

David, could this be provided by JDT Core?
Comment 2 Dani Megert CLA 2008-09-30 05:02:01 EDT 
Discussed with David. Would better fit into JDT Core land.
Comment 3 Markus Keller CLA 2014-01-07 11:26:08 EST 
Core infrastructure is available now. In BETA_JAVA8, we already decorate an annotation method element with a "D" if a default value is defined.

What's missing is the rendering of the default value (IMethod#getDefaultValue()) in the Javadoc hover (similar to what javadoc.exe does).

javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlType has more interesting defaults.
