I have two instances of Eclipse installed, one for RCP and one for the
Web. Both of course point to a Java JDK. Both also point to the JavaDoc
for that JDK.
If I add a tool, or change the JDK, I need to also update the JavaDoc
location. I am planning to add an Android installation, and then I need
to keep three Eclipses up to date.
Is there a way to have all three "read" the same JavaDoc locations when
I update one? It sure would simplify things, especially as I might use
one for a month or two then go to a different one, and why can I not
see the JavaDoc, grumble, grumble.
Maybe a known directory (or one I specify) which I can point Eclipse
to, which has an XML file?

Note that you don't have to use separate Eclipse installations for all
of this; you can just use one or two. (This said, I prefer to do as you
are doing.) Sorry I don't have an answer for your question.

I'm not sure why this is a manual process. I never set a Javadoc
location, just point Eclipse at my JDK installation (with src.jar) and
it automatically finds what it needs.
By the way, that information is stored in the workspace, so it doesn't
really matter how many installations of Eclipse you use, it depends on
how many different workspaces you use.

And of course I use a separate workspace for each installation. Just to
keep things separate.
If I were to put in an enhancement request, what would I put it under?
I always have the hardest time trying to figure out what component I
want, and usually I pick the wrong one and the bug gets moved.
