Hi,

Does anyone know how I can get visibility of the java system libraries on OS X. When I developed on the windows platform, when using eclipse, it was possible to show the definition of the code of the java.lang.*, java.util.* etc classes. Not that this is so important to me, but its really useful for seeing the names parameters of the java system library methods when using the method completion, you know, after you reference a type, hit "." and you get a drop down of methods available for that type. On OS X, I just see unnamed parameters, eg: for a map I would see

myMap.add(Object arg0, Object arg1)

where as I would like to see

myMap.add(Object key, Object value)

If anyone has any ideas let me know.

Thanks, Jonathan

Even though this is Mac-specific, I think it'd get better visibility from other Eclipse users in the IDEs forum, so I've moved it along to there.
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
