hi!
is there any possibility to sort of "embed" the java api in eclipse, so
i can call it by just hitting F1? Or is it even possible to include it
like e.g. the help in visual studio?
thanks in advance,

marcus

Marcus, Not sure exactly what you mean but:
- when browsing through JRE/JDK code, the F1 dynamic help (in 3.1) will
provide you a direct link to browse the Javadoc API web site for the
specific page.
- when editing Java code, you get access to the Java doc documentation
through the Javadoc view, as well as pressing F2.
- you could theatrically create a help plugin with all of Java's doc and
serve it so it can be accessed by F1. You would have to check if the Sun's
license permits you to do so.
- finally if you are talking about the API specs, they could be bundled as
an help plugin too, licensing permitting.
