Workspace lost the link between Eclipse and java help [message #174030]

With a few workspaces set up I've ended up with some that will give the
"Java help:" when I press F1 with a Java keyword or API class selected and
one that won't.

I've obviously "fiddled" with something and lost a connection somewhere
but I'm dammned if I can find it. How do I rehook a workspace to the SUN
Java doc or perhaps which check box might I have unknowningly cleared that
needs to be set such that F1 will provide the link to related API doco ?

TIA.

(Eclipse 3.1.2)

Alan.

Hmm, perhaps the JRE/JDK you're using does not have the JavaDoc
attachment correctly. You can check out this screencast that
demonstrates attaching the source, but attaching the JavaDoc is almost
identical.

Hope this helps,
Eric
