I'm trying out the Eclipse JDT for doing J2SE Desktop App development and
can't seem to access any built in Java API documentation like the Borland
IDE has. Am I missing something or is this functionality not provided?

Is the JVM you are launching Eclipse with a JDK? If so, the JavaDoc and,
if available, source code for the core Java classes should be picked up
automatically.
What's that you say? You don't know what JVM your Eclipse is using to
run? Well, you really should be telling it explicitly what JVM it should
use (and I highly recommend it be a JDK as opposed to a JRE). See here
for details:
http://help.eclipse.org/help32/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse. platform.doc.user/tasks/running_eclipse.htm
You can also specify a VM in the eclipse.ini file - I wrote about that
in another thread just a few minutes ago (Subject: "not able to install
eclipse...")
Hope this helps,
Eric
