Is it possible to document C code in Eclipse (3.4 w/ CDT) in such a way that JavaDoc/Intellisense like documentation is auto generated and displayed?
E.g. On typing a function name followed by a '(' you get the first param with a tooltip explaining the meaning of that parameter?
Thanks.
FYI, I have started to use Doxygen to document my code. This allows documenting in a JavaDoc syntax which I really wanted, and Doxygen then parses the source to form various output formats (html/xml/chm etc..) which is working well.
The Linux Tools project started working on such a help facility. Currently it will provide help for Linux system libraries, but there are plans to extend this to e.g. doxygen generated help, too.
For a demo see: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/linuxtools/videos/libhoverdemo.ogg
