Accessing JavaDocs via the code (F1?) [message #37066] Fri, 18 March 2005 04:40 Go to next message

A lot of Java IDE's have F1 (button) class/methode lookups/help in the
Javadocs.

When pressing F1 above a method of class, they will automatically go to
the Javadoc in a webbrowser. For example to
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/regex/Matc her.html

Eclipse is able to show a small info box about the methods/classes, but I
want Eclipse to start a webbrowser with the full Javadoc descriptions.

I can't find this functionality in Eclipse. Does anybody here know
solutions for this problem? Thanks.

Jesse

Hi,

Try Shift+F2 (or Navigate > Open External Javadoc). Note that you may need
to set the javadoc path for a non-jdk library (at Project Properties > Build
Path > Libraries).

HTH,
