Open your Package Explorer, right click on the .jar library
you want to modify (something like foo\jre\lib\rt.jar),
select Properties from the menu.  You should now see a dialog
asking for the Javadoc location that has a default value of
http://sun.com.  Click the Browse button to point to your 
local drive paying mind to the note about "package-list".
