How to change the textcolor of the JavaDoc view in Eclipse

I sometimes use the JavaDoc-view in Eclipse. By default it has a black background and a white font. I'd really like to change it to "black on white" (as in the rest of Eclipse).

I only found a way to manipulate the background-color and the font-type. But where can I change the font-color?

Wouldn't this help if you'd change the 'Tooltip' color in Ubuntu at the OS level?
Go to: System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Theme -> Customize -> Colors -> Tooltips
