Build Identifier: 20100917-0705

No user-friendly documentation is displayed when writing the following code snippet:
..
System.arraycopy(smallPrimes, 2, luckyNumbers, 3, 4);
..

As a matter of fact this method is documented within the API (http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/), however, the information is not readily understood.  

On the other hand Core Java Fundamentals Vol 1 8th Edition describes this by providing an example on page 93.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
See details.

You need to complain there. Eclipse shows what the libraries provide as help.
