Why F1 doesn't work? [message #128373]

Hi! Everyone.
I'm new of Eclipse. I'd like to know why I can't see the help for an
object, say, "button" of SWT if I press F1 on it.
If I press F1 on, say, Vector the help system works fine.

Thanks for any answer..
Remo

Alex Blewitt answered this for you on the platform group:

I'm guessing this might be a JavaDoc question?

If you have JavaDoc/souce installed for your JDK (which is why Eclipse is
picking it up) but obviously not for the SWT (which you may have as a Jar).
You need to associate the Jar with the JavaDoc or source if you want it to
bring up help.

If you're using the plugins, then the help/source should already be
associated with it; but if not, check to see that either the JavaDoc
location or source location is set for the appropriate jars in the build
path.
