I am think about switching from netbeans over to eclipse, but one major
thing that is stopping me is that the javadoc pop up windows dont work.
For some reason eclipse cant find the proper information from my JRE i am
guessing to populate these pop up windows. These windows are a big
convience and a time saver when coding in java. Does anyone know how to
get them to work properly?

I'm not sure this question got answered, or at least my question is
similar.
Click on any Sun-provided class, hit F1, and you get a list of options
that includes JavaDoc. Starting with eclipse 3.1, this appears in a new
help window.
Unfortunately, the same isn't true for SWT and JFace. With each and every
project we had to right click on these libraries and set the JavaDoc
location.
But it wasn't that easy because the Javadoc was in a zip file buried deep
under the plugins folder. I guess this all makes sense, but could wish it
wasn't such a PITB.
But now, with 3.1 the above solution doesn't seem to be working for us.
This is a Newcomer forum, so I would like to request a Newcomer answer.
Could someone spell out exactly how they set up SWT and JFace so that you
can do this:
1. Click on a SWT or JFace class name in your code.
2. Hit F1.
3. See a menu/list that includes the option Show JavaDoc.
Thanks,
Bill
