No Javadoc When Hovering Cursor Over Text in Eclipse

I had this weird problem that no javadoc preview showed up when hovering the cursor over java code in Eclipse.

Eclipse version: eclipse-java-ganymede-SR2-linux-gtk
OS: Linux (Fedora 11)

I didn't find out why it didn't work but I found out that it was specific to the version of Eclipse I was using.
When I upgraded to Eclipse Galileo (eclipse-java-galileo-linux-gtk), with exactly the same configuration files and preferences, it worked straight away.

I guess it was a bug of the Ganymede SR2 then...
