configuring jre's javadocs: How use local version rather than web? [message #149292]

On Mac OS X, I've configured Eclipse 3.1.2 to use the JDK 1.5 that is
available from the developer connection at apple.com.

The JRE seems to be found and used just fine by eclipse. But when I ask
to look at the javadocs for classes in the JDK, it does not use the
local version of the javadocs, instead it goes to the sun web site.

The help docs claim that in the JRE edit dialog, there should be a
Javadoc URL entry which should be browsable within the local file system.

There is not such a dialog entry visible that I can see! Here is a
screen shot of the dialog:

Does anyone know how I can associate my local javadocs with the JRE?

Thanks

Owen

Owen,

the javadoc and source location can be set individually for each JAR
file that makes up your JRE. Simply select the jars and press the 'Edit'
button visible on your screenshot, or expand the tree notes and edit the
javadoc locations directly.

HTH, tom
