Javadoc for base packages [message #261899]

This seems to be a recurring theme but I can't find a definitive answer
anywhere, or maybe I'm not searching properly.

How do I make the javadoc for all Eclipse base packages available in my
environment?

I'm trying to learn the RCP framework and when I hover over things such
as: org.eclipse.ui.application.WorkbenchWindowAdvisor - I get the
indication that the javadoc isn't available.

I know that others have had this issue previously, but I can't seem to
find an easy way to solve this.

This seems to be such a basic issue, I find it hard to believe I can't
find an easy answer.

Any help would be appreciated.

What package did you download and install? To get all the source and
docs you'll want to be running the Eclipse for RCP/Plug-in Developers
package, which includes all that stuff.
It might be possible to get the SDK/RCP source/doc plugins via Software
Updates, too. But I always find it simpler to just use the RCP package.

Hope this helps,
Eric

Eric,

I grabbed the Eclipse SDK and Eclipse Platform SDK via software updates
and the docs show up.

Thanks for the tip.
