Embedding of the Java SE 6 Documentation in Eclipse EE? [message #264566] |

Hi all!
I just started with Eclipse, so this is a beginner question :)
I just downloaded Eclipse EE Ganymede from http://www..eclipse.org for
Linux 32bit and the Java SE 6 Documentation from
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp.
When I hover the mouse over Java source code in the editor, e.g. the
identifier String, the according help is displayed correctly:
java.lang.String
The String class ...
The problem is the hyperlinks within the help. e.g. the identifier
Character. When I click on it, my browser is opening with an error
message File not found. The adress field contains
file:///java/lang/Character.html and when I look at the processes, there
is one /usr/lib/iceweasel/firefox-bin -a firefox
file:/java/lang/Character.html
.
The Java SE 6 Documentation is unpacked on my system but obviously Eclipse
doesn't see it.
My question is: where do I configure the location of the Java SE 6
Documentation, so that the hyperlinks in the help are working? Could you
please give me a hint on that? Or is it necessary the set an environment
vaiable?
I looked through the configuration options of Eclipse, but couldn't find
it. And there is nothing about that on the web so I think I am overlooking
something.
Many thanks.
Regards,
Ralph

Hi Nick,
thank you for your hint!
I installed sun-java6-source and most of the links within the help are
working now! :)
When I click on the identifier Character, the according help gets
displayed.
It seems, that only links with anchors are still not working. In the
according help to String e.g. there is a link ... represented by
surrogate pairs (see the section Unicode Character Representations ...),
which points to Character.html#unicode. When I click on it, the web
browser opens with File not found.
Is there also a solution for that?
Many thanks,
Regards,
Ralph
