of referencing the java api while inside of eclipse.

If you have properly set the JavaDoc URL for your JRE, then putting the
cursor on a class or method and hitting Shift-F2 will open the JavaDoc
for that class/method.
If you also configure the source location for the JRE, you will see
details about classes/methods in the pop-up tool tip windows and code
completion.

Eric

that's a really useful tip. I also use the JDocs plugin, which has a lot
of open source javadocs hosted (including Eclipse and JDK). I have the
JDocs plug-in in a fast view, so whenever I need to reference the
documentation I just right-click on the class and select "Search on
JDocs..." This doesn't work for javadoc that isn't hosted on the
JDocs.com website, but it's worth having just the same. JDocs also
supports comments, so users can add comments when the doc is lacking.
