java - (Eclipse - OS X) How do you copy from javadoc popups? -
coming windows, when use eclipse , mouse on class / method / variable has javadoc - javadoc window pops (or alternatively can hit f2). eclipse on mac os x 10.8.2 has same behavior. differ in windows can highlight content in popup window , copy (ctrl+c) , paste somewhere. cannot work in mac os x 10.8.2. i've tried both command key + c (which works everywhere else) , i've tried ctrl+c. no dice.
i use when setting local variable value returned getter method. can open javadoc , copy return type, , paste editor type new local variable. saves lot of time if return type complicated map type generic arguments.
also helpful when helping out co-workers able copy / paste portions of javadoc them via im.
is not possible on mac os x 10.8.2? there work around?
edit: using eclipse juno sr 2
if highlight class/method/variable interested in, @ bottom of eclipse window there should list of tabs alongside console, 1 of named javadoc.
if select tab, javadoc should show in window console appears, , can copy using cmd-c normal.
edit: if javadoc doesn't show, make sure enable window > show view > javadoc
