Is there a way to search/browse the Sun Java documentation from within
Eclipse similar as in Netbeans?

Yes,
you need to go to Window->Preferences->Java->Installed JREs and add your
installed copy of a JDK to the list and set it to be the default JRE.
By default, eclipse detects a copy of the JRE, which does not have the
source code attached to it.

So, if I wanted to add the Javadoc for Jena, would I put this here too?
e.g. F:\Jena-2.3\doc\javadoc

Thank you for the answer. I still do not understand this though: how cam I
then search and view the Javadoc in Eclipse? Do I need a seperate plugin?
Also, what I wanted to do is to simply make the seperate Javadoc zipfile I
downloaded from Sun (jdk-1_5_0-doc.zip which contains all the html files)
available and usable from within Eclipse. The idea is that I can than
bring up the documentation of any element in the buffer (e.g. Character)
within Eclipse and maybe also use it for code completion.

What am I missing here?
