On Mac OS X, I've configured Eclipse 3.1.2 to use the JDK 1.5 that is
available from the developer connection at apple.com.
The JRE seems to be found and used just fine by eclipse. But when I ask
to look at the javadocs for classes in the JDK, it does not use the
local version of the javadocs, instead it goes to the sun web site.
The help docs claim that in the JRE edit dialog, there should be a
Javadoc URL entry which should be browsable within the local file system.
There is not such a dialog entry visible that I can see! Here is a
screen shot of the dialog:

Does anyone know how I can associate my local javadocs with the JRE?
Thanks
Owen
