Since installing M5a when I press F1 I no longer see context sensitive Javadoc links, only pages of stuff about the IDE. For example, if I have my cursor on the word "HashMap" in this line: this.fieldMap = new HashMap(pageIDs); pressing F1 would give me a link such as "HashMap(Map)" that linked to something like this: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/HashMap.html#HashMap(java.util.Map) The first part of the link came from the Javadoc URL part of the installed JRE but it also worked for jars that I had set the Javadoc URL for. Am I missing something? Has this functionality moved somewhere else? Is it possible to turn off the IDE help and completely replace it with this method of Javadoc help? Can I just change things back to how they were before the new help system since I really don't need IDE help?
You should still get that link in the upper portion of the 'Related Topics' view. We didn't loose any info - just repackaged it in a different way.
However you will need a more recent build (M6 should be available today).
ok, I see it for some things like on "RuntimeException" in this line: throw new RuntimeException("TO field map not set!"); or even with HashMap if I remove the parameter, but the previous example with HashMap seems broken. More context here: protected void setFieldMap(Map pageIDs) { if (pageIDs == null) { this.fieldMap = pageIDs; } else { this.fieldMap = new HashMap(pageIDs); } this.fieldsWereSet = true; } Might be a problem with generics? I have a 5.0 JDK but I'm not using 5.0 features yet. I'd verify that 1.4 is still selected in the compiler settings but the GUI for that config page is borked. I do know I'm not seeing the warnings that were present the last time I tested 5.0 compiling so I'm pretty sure it's still off. If M6 is coming shortly I'll get it ASAP.
Can you check this problem with M7?
Just downloaded M7 and I don't think it's completely working. With this line of code: HashMap map = new HashMap(new HashMap()); putting the the cursor on the first or third "HashMap" shows the help link but the second one does not.
Dani, from Brad's description there is something special about HashMap constructor. Can you reproduce Brad's problem?
Created attachment 22263 [details] works for me
Resolving as such.
You didn't use the code I provided. The int constructor is fine, it's the Map constructor that shows the problem: HashMap map = new HashMap(new HashMap());
Please do not reopen until you see this bug using 3.1 RC1 or newer.
Created attachment 22265 [details] tested with 1.4 and 5.0 SDK
OK, narrowed it down a little more: Using Eclipse 3.1 RC1 JDK 1.5.0_02 on Win2k3 Server The problem still exists when my compiler compliance is set to 1.4 but if I change it to 5.0 the help link shows up properly. Path to setting: Window->Preferences... Java->Compiler->Compiler compliance level
This does not look like a help problem. Dani, please reassign back if I was mistaken.
>compliance is set to 1.4 what level the JRE?
I'm not exactly sure what you're asking so I'll just give you all I can think of >JDK 1.5.0_02 on Win2k3 Server I installed to c:\java\jdk1.5.0_02 My "Installed JREs" lists only 1 which has it's "JRE home directory" set to "C:\java\jdk1.5.0_02" (I changed this long ago from the default of the installed JRE so I could debug into the JDK). The JRE installed (windows installer for JDK runs a second installer for a JRE) was installed to "C:\java\jre1.5.0_02" and I -think- this is what eclipse itself is using to run since this directory, and not "C:\java\jdk1.5.0_02", is being accessed by my only running javaw.exe according to the "handle" tool: http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/handle.shtml Please let me know if there's something else you need to know that wasn't in that mess :)
Was able to reproduce this under N20050607-0010 with the following setup: - Compiler compliance level 1.4 - JRE 1.5 The problem is that code resolve doesn't return anything for the second has map. Open declaration (F3) doesn't work either. Moving to JDT/Core to comment why code resolve doesn't work here ?
Code resolve doesn't work because SelectionEngine try to find the JavaElement corresponding to HashMap(java.util.Map) but this method doesn't exist in JRE 1.5. The existing method is HashMap(java.util.Map<? extends K, ? extends V> m).

Verified that both javadoc hover and visit declaration (F3) are broken with I20101025-1800 and are fixed at HEAD. Closing as duplicate of 299384 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 299384 ***
Verified for 3.7M4 using build 20101205-2000.
