Mouse hover doesn't show documentation
I followed the getting started youtube video on the scala-ide.org main page on a fresh installation of Indigo. Instead of showing the complete documentation for the String Java class, it shows "type String = String"
I did notice incidentally by looking at the project properties, that in the scala-library.jar and others in the project, under "javadoc location," they show "(None) - non modifiable." I'm not sure if this is the problem, or if the Scala editor gets its documentation somewhere else, but regardless it appears broken.

It'd been better to open two tickets as these are two separate issues.
(1) The reason why hovering on a String type shows `type String = String` is that String is a type alias defined in Predef.scala. However, I agree that he'd be better to show the full qualified name for the java, i.e. `type String = java.lang.String`. I'll create a new ticket with this enhancement request.
(2) We already have a ticket for scaladoc integration and there is a branch that is currently under development for integrating scaladoc. Please look at the releated ticket to get notified when the branch will be merged into the mainline.

I've invalidated this ticket and opened a new one for keeping track of enhancement (1). You can see it here: 1000598
