Hi,
How do we get the editor to display the help that comes with java. ie
j2sdk-1_4_1-doc.
Pressing f1 displays the help that is built into the editor, but i need to
see the j2sdk-1_4_1-doc documentation

Thanks Vladimir.
But as far as i know, this will show the documentation abt the project
itself, which was generated by javadoc from within the editor and that
does not solve my purpose. I want to see the documentation provided by
sun. For instance if i forget the the library(developed by sun) that has a
particular class or i forget the usage of a particular method(developed by
sun) then there should be some provision to search for it.
Althouogh i can manually invoke the index file found in doc subfolder of
java and click on the #api link externally using a browser but i was kind
of hoping that the the editor has some inbuild function/provision to allow
the same internally. For instance like jbuilder can allow u look at the
help that comes bundled with jbuilder plus it also allows u to see the
java documentation all from within the editor.
So u see my question is still unsolved.
Regards.
Deepak

If you have source attached (search online help for "attach sourde) to your
JRE libraries, the javadoc will show up as a hover when you place the mouse
cursor over a call. Alternatively, you can press F2 when the caret is in a
statement and the javadoc for it will pop up.
