I'd like to attach the api docs, downloaded from the sun website, so that
I can get instant access to the documentation e.g. by hovering over a
identifier with the mouse. This already works for the code that I write
myself, but I would like it for the core api as well.
Here is what I did thus far:
- Downloaded jdk-1.5.0-doc.zip from the sun website and copied the docs
directory to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_09\docs
- In eclipse, Window->Preferences->Java->Installed JRE's->Edit and then
set the javadoc location for each of the listed jar's to file://C:/Program
Files/Java/jdk1.5.0_09/docs/api. When I click the validate button, I get
"Location is likely valid", so that is good.
However, after these steps, I still don't see the inline documentation. Is
there an additional step that I'm missing?
Any help or pointers to additional documentation is much appreciated.

Try this
Window->Preferrence->Java->Installed JRE->
change the jre to your jdk, that's ok. JDK contains source code for java api

Sorry, but this doesn't help me further. When I do this, the javadoc
location for all the jar's listed point to an url on the sun website
(http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/) NOT the location on my HDD. I
guess I could set it manually, but then I'm back where I started.
Note that I downloaded the javadoc in html format, NOT the source code. I
don't have that. Are you telling me that what I want is only possible
using the JDK source? If so, how can I get that?

I found the source code for the sdk on the sun website, and downloaded it
(all 55 Megs) and tried to attach it, but it still doesn't work. I don't
get the documentation I want when I hover over e.g. a class name like
"String". I checked and the source for String.java is definitely there
where I installed it, including javadoc annotation.
