Hi,
I'm using Eclipse now for a while. So I like it! But now I've to teach Java
to some students and we're missing a context senitive help.
Let's have an example': Creating the HelloWorld Applet we use the paint()
methode. How can we get the JavaDoc Help to that methode? Usually we leave
Eclipse to load the Java Online Help/Documentation in any browser, which
isn't that much comfortable.
Any Idea?
TIA
Rolf
