F1 lookup from JDK API [message #278873]

Hi

How can I setup Eclipse 3 so that when I press F1 in Java source file editor
then Eclipse looks up the documentation of the class or method that is under
the cursor? (Like Delphi does)

thanks in advance!

If you attach the source you don't even have to press F1: a hover will
show the Javadoc (extracted from the src.zip). Of course you can also
attach the Javadoc, then pressing F1 will show help for the editor and
this popup will contain an entry "Javadoc for ...". To directly open the
Javadoc press Shift+F2.

To attach either source or Javadoc select the JAR in the Package
Explorer and select "Properties" from the context menu.
