Accessing Java API from MyEclipse
——————————————-

NetBeans has a feature: ‘show javadoc’ when right clicking on a highlighted class. Also able to bring up all of Java API as well using Help menu.

Are there similar feature in MyEclipse?

Thanks
Leonid

Leonid,

Simply double-clicking a Java class name (to highlight it) will bring up a flyout box containing the javadoc by default. If you’d like to make that box bigger, you can press F2 to give it the focus.

As far as the Help system goes, we do not ship all the JavaDoc for Java in the product. However, it’s easy to access from within my Eclipse by opening the MyEclipse Web Browser (little globe icon on toolbar) and navigating to http://www.jdocs.com/

Leonid,

Some more ideas:

You can also open the Javadoc view using Window > Show View > Other > Java > Javadoc which will show Javadoc for the method / class currently in focus.

To attach javadoc to a JAR, simply bring up the context menu for that JAR in the package explorer and choose Properties.Go to the Javadoc node and specify the location of the Javadoc, either online or local.

Hope this helps.
