I want to see JDK's javadoc as pop up window same as netbeans.

In netbeans when write "String" and Press Ctrl+Space, additionally to pop up window that show classes their name started with "String", show javadoc for String or any other classes.

How can do it in Eclipse?

This should happen automatically once you have attached the source to the
JDK. You need to make sure you downloaded a full JDK and installed the
src.zip containing the source code. Use the Edit JRE dialog of the
Installed JREs preference window to edit the source for the JDK jars.

If the source is in placed in the JDK instalation folder before defining the
JDK to Eclipse, it should be found automatically.

I don't need source of JDK and don't want to edit its source.

I only want to see javadoc of JDK same as showing in picture in my previous post.
I have javadoc in my home directory but i don't know how can add javadoc to Eclipse to showing it as pop up same as netbeans.

Attaching the source to the JDK is how you show the javadoc. Eclipse parses
the source and presents a javadoc view based on it.

By default, the javadoc location is set to http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api. If you have connection problems to this site, you probably will not find the Javadoc.

Here are the instructions to see or change the javadoc location.
Go to Window->Preferences->Java->Installed JREs, select the JRE that you are using and click Edit. It brings up a popup box. On this popup box, expand the jars, you should see the javadoc location there. You could set or change the location here!
