Searching JDK javadocs [message #184128]

Hi,

Been using Eclipse for a month now and mostly impressed but I am really
missing the ability to 'search' javadocs such as those provided for the
java jdk. The popup javadoc and javadoc view is great when you want to
lookup a particular class but I'm really after a way to search the whole
javadoc for a particlar word or phrase. Anyone know a good way to do this?

TIA

Tas.

If you have all the Javadoc files locally, you might try the Google
desktop search tool. I think it will automatically index HTML files, so
it should include the Javadocs.
