Hi,
I've downloaded java 6 SE help from java.sun.com, and I'd like to have
it integrated into eclipse, i.e. while I'm editing and I press F1 on the
word String it would be great if the Java help for String class would
show up in the help pane.
How can I do that???
Thanks
Ciccio

I don't think this is possible.
If you can use Java SDK you can get much more better support and
integration (context help browsing through system libraries code etc.)
if you need to use your local copy of javadoc you can attach it to your
project in rt.jar properties in your project. then this documentation
can be viewed in JavaDoc view by clicking specific class or method in editor
hope this help

Shift+F2 is the keyboard shortcut to open the Javadoc in your browser.
Usually it does not require any special set-up if you are using a JDK
instead of a JRE.
Hope this helps,
Eric

Does not work.
When I put my mouse over (for example) String class I have the message:
"java.lang.String
Note: This element neither has attached source nor attached Javadoc and
hence no information could be found."
Any hint?

choose the jre you're using and click "Edit" button on the right. There
should new window be opened, click "Javadoc Location" button and point
to the location with the javadoc.
I've got it set to (I guess it's by default):
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/
Why don't you try this?
Hope this helps,

I did: I set javadocs rt.jar properties to my downloaded copy of the
above. Finally it works.

It does. Thanks a lot for your help.

You should also know that if you use a full JDK instead of just a JRE,
Eclipse will usually find the source and Javadoc automatically without
having to specify them yourself.
Hope this helps,
Eric
