I'm currently working on a java project using VSCode and when I hover an object, type or method name, documentation isn't showing anymore. I do not know why or what I did to change that.

In the following picture, I am hovering the first occurence of ByteBuyUtils, and as we can see, nothing is shown.

Here is a picture found on google pictures showing what I want to get when hovering something :

example of what I want when hovering code

I'm using 1.65.1 version of VSCode, on Ubuntu 21.10. I am using openjdk version "18-ea" 2022-03-15.

The following extensions are installed on my VSCode :

• Language Support for Java(TM) by Red Hat
• Debugger for Java
• Test Runner for Java

Maybe this is the extension you need:Visual Studio IntelliCode You can also read this article to see some of the extensions that Java needs: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/java/java-tutorial

CodePudding user response：

It stands to reason that the extension you downloaded has this function to show that... why don't you install an intelligent prompt extension such as this oneto have a try? Or please check it out if you have turned off the setting：editor.hover.enabled(in the lower right corner and search for hover)?
