Hi. I am newbie in Eclipse. I tryied to get help on SWT via Shift+F2 shortcut, but I was not successful. I read a lot of topics at the web, but no of them could solve my problem. May be because they were outdated. I downloaded the newest version of SWT swt-3.6.1-win32-win32-x86.zip. It contains also the source code of SWT with JavaDoc in .java files (src.zip), but I am not able to setup those source files as source for Shift+F2. When I set "Java Source Attachment" to src.zip file I get only "mose hover" help in the tooltip, but Shift+F2 shortcut doesn't work. Could anyone help me? Thank you very, very much.
B.

Shift+F2 opens the attached Javadoc if it's configured. Javadoc in
source is not the same. You would have to extract the Javadoc for SWT
and then point to that location.

Thank you. Finally I did that manually by running javadoc. Is it possible to download extracted documentation from somewhere? I am lazy to run javadoc for every package which I download from the network.

The Javadoc of the SDK is inside the ISV doc plug-ins.

Why do you actually need that, given you have the source and that you
can look at the Javadoc via hover and Javadoc view?

I prefer it, because it's easier for me to read it in the separate window than in floating tooltip-like window. Please, what does it mean "ISV doc plug-ins"? Where can I obtain them? I didn't find any *isv* files in Eclipse directory. Thank you for your help.

If you do not prefer the hover, you can still use the Javadoc view.

Look for eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv_<version>.jar

Please, could you post me the exact URL, where can I download eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv_<version>.jar file? As I wrote, this file is not in the Eclipse IDE for Java Developers installation. Thank you.
