eclipse access to java API documentation

[falkenberg_cph]

Hi
I have installed Eclipse and it works well. I have been using the java API documentation online untill now. I have downloaded the documentation to my computer - How can i easily access the index file of the documentation folder from eclipse?

Thank you
Carsten

it's about 1/2 way down the page

one thing you should also get is the jadclipse plugin. jad is a java decompiler that works pretty well. with jadclipse, you can click on a the name of a class you didn't write, and press F3 (open declaration). instead of opening that useless class window, jad will show you the source code. very useful and it's interesting to see how everything works. also a bit of an eye opener for how bad some of sun's code really is. it's also great for fixing certain parts of other people's software, license validators etc
