Description Ron Baldwin

2002-08-14 16:17:18 EDT

For example: Long.MAX_VALUE 
Actual javadoc:
   "A constant holding the maximum value a long can have, 2<sup>63</sup>-1"
Eclipse tooltip:
   "A constant holding the maximum value a long can have, 263-1"
Possible fix (assuming no rich text in tooltips):
   "A constant holding the maximum value a long can have, 2^63-1"

This is probably an issue with more than just the <sup> tag.

also the umlaut (like &uuml;) is shown incorrectly.
instead of "ü" the tooltip shows "&uuml" without the semicolon
