Hey all, I don't know if this is peculiar to my setup, but all the Javadoc for Java disappeared in Eclipse. So mousing over a call to a standard Java class like java.io.File would say that there was no Javadoc available. I looked in Preferences -> Java -> Installed JREs -> JVM 1.6.0 (MacOS X Default) -> Edit.
The Javadoc location for all the JRE system libraries was pointed to: http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/ When you click on the "Javadoc Location" button and click on the "Validate..." button, you get a message saying that the location is likely correct. BUT if you open it in a browser, you'll see that there is a redirect happening and the final URL is: http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/index.html If you change the location in eclipse to point to this URL instead of the original, Javadoc starts to work again. So apparently the in-line, pop-up Javadoc functionality of eclipse doesn't follow the redirect, but the Preference panel validation does. I hope this helps others. It was driving me nuts. Also, while you are there, you can point the Source attachment property to: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0_22-b04-307.jdk/contents/home/src.jar And when you open the definition, you'll get the actual Java Source Code instead of either a no-source available, or decompiled version. Very handy! (but will break/be inaccurate when a new version of the JDK is released...) Dave _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
