API Javadocs from eclipse [message #51472]

Is there any way to open full Javadoc pages directly from Eclipse, e.g. by
pressing F1 when cursor is over a certain method in the code editor (as in
JBuilder)? Really miss this feature with Eclipse...

Also is it possible to include these Javadoc features to other than JDK
standard APIs?

Any plugins or anything?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Yes. Use Shift+F2.

You can set javadoc places at the following locations:
- Java runtime: Preferences > Java > Installed JREs > Edit > Javadoc URL
- For a 3rdparty jar in your project: Project > Properties > Java Build Path
> Libraries. For each jar there are a 'Javadoc location' field in the tree.

Note that for the basic 'javadoc' (hovering and F2) you need the java source
files. Those can be specified near the above javadoc locations.

HTH,
Regards,
Csaba
