Description Stefan Baier CLA 2003-06-25 06:41:32 EDT 
If i press F1 in the Java editor when the cursor is located on a 
Eclipse class (e.g. INewWizard), i don't get an entry named "Javadoc for ...".
Nevertheless, when the mouse cursor moves over the same class, the infopop 
window with the short Javadoc info appears.
Why does F1 not work with the Eclipse API?
Comment 1 Tom Hofmann CLA 2003-06-25 13:04:06 EDT 
You only get the "Javadoc for ..." entry if there is an external javadoc site 
configured (see project properties->Javadoc Location).

Have you tried out the Declaration and Javadoc views in the newest integration 
build - they might give you what you want.
Comment 2 Stefan Baier CLA 2003-06-26 07:14:29 EDT 
Unfortunately I don't understand this hint.
What should I enter into the field properties->Javadoc location?

Where can I find new newest integration build?
For version 2.1 I can only find the "Latest Release" build which I already have
and a "Stream Maintenance Build".
Comment 3 Stefan Baier CLA 2003-07-09 05:19:56 EDT 
I have installed now Release 2.1.1 and the problem isn't solved.
Why there isn't an automation for the "Javadoc location" entry for all Eclipse 
APIs, like it works for the installed JREs?
What should I enter into "Javadoc location"?
Javdoc help for the Eclipse API is shown in the help window with links like

http://127.0.0.1:1656/help/index.jsp?
topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/api/...

where the port number changes each time eclipse is restarted.
Comment 4 Dirk Baeumer CLA 2003-07-09 08:45:44 EDT 
Automatically setting up the Javadoc location for Eclipse API is a nice idea. 
This is something that should be done by PDE since JDT is a generic Java IDE 
and PDE adds Eclipse specific Java development tools.
