Description
### Apache NetBeans version
Apache NetBeans 24
### What happened
Javadoc still does not automatically pop up when the mouse hovers over a class or something like that. I cannot confirm which version has been happened but I can confirm this has long time.
### Language / Project Type / NetBeans Component
Java Maven/Gradle (Even the Ant example project)
### How to reproduce
Just move the mouse hover the class you want to show the javadoc. Only if you press Ctrl+Space the Javadoc can show.
### Did this work correctly in an earlier version?
No / Don't know
### Operating System
Windows10 / Linux (OpenSUSE)
### JDK
JDK21 provided by OpenJDK(Bellsw or OpenSUSE)
### Apache NetBeans packaging
Apache NetBeans binary zip
### Anything else
If anyone can tell me how to debug this, I am glad to pull request to fix it.
### Are you willing to submit a pull request?
Yes
Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the issue in Apache NetBeans 24 with a Java Maven, Gradle, or Ant project by hovering over a class, then compare the result with Ctrl+Space. Start by tracing the editor's hover and Javadoc display behavior; done means Javadoc appears automatically on hover across the reported environments without requiring Ctrl+Space.
