Bug 62615

Description Thomas M??der 2004-05-18 06:09:46 EDT

I2004-04-17 + smoke test plugin export from 2004-04-18-11:15

1) Setup like for a smoke test (i.e. import JUnit).
2) Open a file with protected methods (I use TestCase.java as an example)
3) hover over the method name of 

protected void runTest() throws Throwable {

4) observe: you get a hover
5) make sure there is no selection in the editor, place the caret in the method
name of the above method
6) now hover over the "protected" keyword of the above method.
7) observe: you get a NullPointerException:
