yes, it is what i am doing, i was looking for a solution to use Shift-F2
from eclipse that will return me URL to the local file system and in this
case it will be C:\j2sdk1.4.1_01\docs\api\java\util\ArrayList.html
they could keep it, i am not sure however how they process javdoc after i
gave them javadoc location

not work. i agree it's a little bit tiddious
