F1-help doesn't bring up specific javadoc? [message #175502] Thu, 26 August 2004 17:05 Go to next message

I was assuming that if I highlight, say, "System" of System.out.println(),
and then hit F1, that I could be instantly directed to jdk documentation for
System.

Instead I am directed to top of the documentation hierarchy installed by me
into my jdk directory (C:\Java\jdk1.5.0\docs if it matters any).

Am I wrong or deluded or both? :)

I /always/ do, and didn't find it.

If only the eclipse ng's were accessible through google, then I wouldn't
have to actually download all the message bodies, etc., and I'd have a much
better searching engine than OE...

What I /do/ find are posts telling how to set the value in the "installed
jre's" preferences, which is not the issue, since I'm getting the top of the
doc hierarchy, just not the individual class help.

If the JAR has source and Javadoc attached you can do the following:
- hover over the element and Javadoc (extracted from attached source)
appears in a hover
- press Shift+F2 to open the Javadoc for an element (extracted from
attached Javadoc)
- press F1 and from the list select "Javadoc for <element>"
