Description Benjamin Pasero CLA 2005-05-30 04:59:31 EDT 
In cases where I hover over fields which are primitive types, the JavaDoc is
just displaying the single char representation of the Type, e.g. "Z Main.foo"
for a boolean.

When hovering over local types, I am seeing the type in the Hover, e.g. "boolean
Main.bar()".

I think the JavaDoc should always try to show the type, especially since it is
not quite clear to read a "boolean" out of "Z".

Martin, I quess that happens now for resolved field declarations in
JavaElementLabels. I enabled the code after JDT/Core has fixed the bug. We
should indeed render boolean here not Z.
Comment 2 Benjamin Pasero CLA 2005-05-30 06:52:23 EDT 
Note that this happens for all primitive types (e.g. "D" for "double").

Possible connection: Bug #97206

Comment 3 Martin Aeschlimann CLA 2005-05-30 06:56:01 EDT 
The bug is in jdt.core. The signature returned here is 'LZ;'

public class B {
	boolean fBoolean;
	{
		fBoolean= true;  // hover over 'fBoolean'
	}

}

Comment 6 Jerome Lanneluc CLA 2005-05-31 06:41:26 EDT 
Changed BindingKeyParser and its subclasses to handle base types separately from
other types (see consumeBaseType(char[]) ).
Added regression test BindingKeyTest#test039()
