Description Joseph Wong

In Eclipse 3.0 M1, source tool tips in the Java editor are shown with the 
source colored according to the syntax highlighting settings. However, for 
preferences where the editor background color is dark (e.g. blue or black) and 
the foreground color is light (e.g. white), the source tool tips disregards the 
dark background color. The result is that I get a white on yellow source 
display, which is quite unreadable.

Seven milestones later (as of M8), this is still a problem that needs to be
fixed for those who use light font colors for source code in the editor.

Would really appreciate a fix for this bug.  The source hover in its current
state isn't usable for me...

I'm closing this one as a newer bug which is marked 3.1.
