Hello everybody!
Just wanted to ask if there is any way to include java documentation (this
html version that can be downloaded from sun's website) in the Eclipse
itself, so when I press F1 on a particular world Java documentation will
pop up? THX

Using a recent build (e.g 3.2RC4) this should work in any case if you
have an internet connection. In 3.1, you need to attach source (download
the SDK) to your JRE.

To show javadoc, simply hover over a method, or press F2. To open
attached javadoc in its own browser method (you need to attach that,
too), press Ctrl+F2.
