Hi there.

It seems there is no Markdown JavaDoc hovers in current vscode-java?

No hovers

Could this be implemented? Or how do I enable it?

Thank you.

    The hover works fine in my eclipse.

    Never mind. Caused by my broken org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler setting.

    What is the org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler that you had to modify to get this to work? I thought this should work out of the box, but it looks to me like it just ignores markdown comments.

    For me, --release need to be set to 23+, or the hovers will not show up though the javadoc.jar can be generated.

    If --release is set to 22-, the org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler setting generated automatically by vscode-java will forbid any newer feature, including markdown Javadoc.
