I made a similar comment a while back.
 My suggestion was to render JavaDoc as WYSIWYG HTML, with perhaps
extensions for handling different @tags and presenting them in a custom
UI.  For example, both EMF and Rational add their own custom @tags
to javadoc comments.

I think this type of thing is still
far away.  There is no WYSIWYG support in Eclipse.  Lot's of
different editors are being built around the current architecture, so this
would require everyone to rewrite their source editors, or there could
be two versions of the java source editor (not good).

What about something bigger than
simply color coding and actually use smart typosgraphy:
