eclipse - how to add more info to tooltip of a variable/object/class

When I place my mouse over a variable like this one msgProcessedCount++; the tooltip contains BYTE msgProcessedCount = 0;

This is ok but could be better.

QUESTION
Is there a way to add more info like:

  • file in which it's defined
  • class in which it's defined: in a class hierarchy, the variable could be defined in a base-r class.
Solution

  • If you mean adding this info just by changing some settings, then no. The functionality you describe would have to be implemented.

    That said, you're welcome to contribute a patch that implements this.
