Whenever I use a deprecated method it is displayed with strike-through and marked as warning. So far so good.

Now I am interested in the reason for the deprecation. But eclipse doesn't display the reason, that is usually denoted with the @deprecated JavaDoc key.

1. Eclipse should always display that reason when hovering over the deprecated method call or the yellow symbol to the left of the code.
2. When pressing F2 after placing the caret on the deprecated call the regular JavaDoc should be displayed instead of the warning message, that is known anyway and displayed when hovering. Currently I have no chance to view the JavaDoc from within Eclipse, but by adding a SuppressWarnings annotation and requesting the JavaDoc afterwards.

Reproducible: Always

If you hover while Ctrl+Shift is pressed, you'll get the Javadoc.
