I WAS missing method explanations when doing a ctrl+space at for example 
ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace(). It mentioned that no Javadoc for the 
method could be found. I could see all methods, but not what they 
actually do.
Yesterday I did an update of my Eclipse config. And I enabled the 
'include help content from a remote infocenter and pointed it to 
help.elipse.org/help33. And the problem was still there after restarting 
the workspace.
Today, I was very surprised to see that the problem was vanished; some 
little dwarf must have been pokin' around in my config to get it fixed.

Thanks for your help.
Jeroen.
