Bug 357325

Description Andrey Loskutov 2011-09-11 08:15:28 EDT

Build Identifier: 3.7.1 or any previous 3.5 - 3.7 builds

AS IS:
Given the example class below, javadoc hover shown for both methods (toString()/main()) does NOT include parameter annotations information.

#################################
import static java.lang.annotation.ElementType.*;

import java.lang.annotation.*;

public class TestParameterAnnotations {

	@NonNull
	String x;

	/**
	 * @param y any
	 * @return given value as string or empty string
	 */
	@NonNull
	public String toString(@NonNull Object y) {
		return  y != null ? y.toString() : "";
	}

	/**
	 * @param args any parameters
	 */
	public static void main(@NonNull String[] args) {
		String s = new TestParameterAnnotations().toString(null);
		System.err.println(s);
	}
}

@Target({TYPE, FIELD, METHOD, PARAMETER, CONSTRUCTOR, LOCAL_VARIABLE})
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.CLASS)
@interface NonNull {
}
######################################

TO BE:
As annotations like above are often very important for the code documentation, they should be shown for method parameters.
Interestingly, method return value annotation and class field annotations are shown in the javadoc hover/view.

Reproducible: Always
