Description Martin Aeschlimann CLA 2003-02-25 16:55:39 EST 
RC1

1. In the Java Editor preference pages, annotations, enable the 'search'
annotations for the overview ruler
2. Make a search, move the mouse over the overview ruler marker. You get no
hover. It would be consistent and also useful to get some information (e.g.
references of 'foo')
Comment 1 Dani Megert CLA 2003-06-16 10:38:24 EDT 
Currently the info which is displayed is stored in the marker (IMarker.MESSAGE).
Setting this attribute in each search match is not good.
==>
We would have to allow to compute the information on the fly and have API or
extension point to provide tool tip info for a given marker type. For search it
is even more complicated since the search marker represents different types of
matches (e.g. Text, Java). If we only show the query then this is not a problem
but if each marker should have its own different tool tip then Search itself
needs to offer new API/extension point.
Comment 2 Martin Aeschlimann CLA 2003-06-16 10:47:41 EDT 
showing the query was what I thought:
'Reference to x.y.A'
or
'Read access to xy.A.count'
