[jdt-dev] Java help API & EclipseCon

[Christian Pontesegger <christian.pontesegger@xxxxxx>]

Hi devs,

I am trying to implement tooltips and help hovers for Java 
classes/methods for the EASE project. With some help from this group I 
managed to create a working prototype. As it has its rough edges and 
does not work in all cases I would like to discuss with you.

Furthermore it would be interesting to work towards an official API to 
make Java help available for other languages, too. Eg PyDev recently 
integrated help hovers for Java classes using reflection. Other 
languages might be interested too.

I thought that the Hackatron at EclipseCon would be a good place to 
discuss some of thes topics. Is there anyone of the JDT team available 
and interested to meet me at EclipseCon next week?
