[news.eclipse.newcomer] Java API documentation tooltip

[ps.shyam@xxxxxxxxxxx (Shyam)]

Hello All,

I am unable to view the description for Java commands that eclipse comes 
up with as I scroll through commands (CTRL+SPACE)

I am referring to Java commands while writing a class. Let me elaborate a 
lil bit..

For instance, lets say I created a new project and create a new class in 
this project. Now I want to type -> System.out.println(""Hello World");

So, I begin typing "Sys" and hit CTRL+SPACE, eclipse comes with a drop 
down list with a whole lot of commands for you to choose. My question is 
related to this part of the story! => On many other laptops I have tried 
on, as you keep pressing the down arrow to scroll down the list, you will 
notice a yellow tooltip appear that gives you documentation about the 
command that you arehave currently highlighted in the list.. 

I was told about this feature by friend. To enable this feature you follow 
these directions,

> From the eclipse menubar, say..
Window-> Preferences -> Java -> Installed JRE -> Add -> (Browese to add the 
jdk1.5.0_06 folder or whatever corresponding folder that you have) -> Give a 
name (say, JDK) and select this entry -> say OK, to close the Preferences 
Dialog Box.


This feature works on all other computers I have tried on, but not mine!! 
They say that this feature is enabled by default in eclise and I think, 
yeah right!!

I hope I have tried to explain what I want help with. I am rookie with 
Java, I have tried explaining as best as I could..

Thanks,
Shyam
