[news.eclipse.newcomer] Re: API Javadocs from eclipse

["Horváth, Csaba" <hcs33@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Yes. Use Shift+F2.

You can set javadoc places at the following locations:
- Java runtime: Preferences > Java > Installed JREs > Edit > Javadoc URL
- For a 3rdparty jar in your project: Project > Properties > Java Build Path
> Libraries. For each jar there are a 'Javadoc location' field in the tree.

Note that for the basic 'javadoc' (hovering and F2) you need the java source
files. Those can be specified near the above javadoc locations.

HTH,
Regards,
Csaba
