Yes they are in the Eclipse Help. However there is no place I can point
the swt.jar/ properties/ java doc location to. Without this path
Eclipse does not popup Javadoc when you hover over a class/method. I
know I could use a URL, but my development machine is on a private LAN
not connected to the Internet.
My installation of Eclipse + Window Builder only had the Windows jar
file.
I did eventually learn that I could use the source, but then my
installation did not include that source. After rooting around the
Eclipse site I located an SWT jar which did include the source, I
downloaded it, pointed Eclipse at it, and now I have popup Javadoc.
It is not that I could not eventually solve this. It is that I spent
too much time searching the Web, reading other people's posts in
various forums, finding a solution, then searching the Eclipse sites.
Call me lazy, but could not a download link to the SWT Javadoc be
placed on the http://www.eclipse.org/swt/javadoc.php page?

If you install the Eclipse Platform SDK, it will automatically associate
the source with the SWT classes so the hover will be populated. The SDK
includes the source plugin.

Hmm, I downloaded "Eclipse IDE for Java Developers"
Because according to this page
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/compare.php that package had what I
needed.
