[news.eclipse.newcomer] Embedding of the Java SE 6 Documentation in Eclipse EE?

Hi all!

I just started with Eclipse, so this is a beginner question :)
I just downloaded Eclipse EE Ganymede from http://www..eclipse.org for Linux 32bit and the Java SE 6 Documentation from http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp.


When I hover the mouse over Java source code in the editor, e.g. the identifier ?String?, the according help is displayed correctly:
java.lang.String


The String class ...

The problem is the hyperlinks within the help. e.g. the identifier ?Character?. When I click on it, my browser is opening with an error message ?File not found?. The adress field contains ?file:///java/lang/Character.html? and when I look at the processes, there is one ?/usr/lib/iceweasel/firefox-bin -a firefox file:/java/lang/Character.html
?.


The Java SE 6 Documentation is unpacked on my system but obviously Eclipse doesn't see it.
My question is: where do I configure the location of the Java SE 6 Documentation, so that the hyperlinks in the help are working? Could you please give me a hint on that? Or is it necessary the set an environment vaiable?


I looked through the configuration options of Eclipse, but couldn't find it. And there is nothing about that on the web so I think I am overlooking something.

Many thanks.

Regards,
Ralph
