Is it possible to enable f1 help for API classes?

For example:

If I have

List myList = new ArrayList()

and I highlight the “List” keyword, then press f1 I want help on the List interface to appear.

Is it possible to set this up? How do I do it?

Thanks – Adam

Adam,
You just need to attach source to your JRE libraries. The is easiest done if you go to Window > Prefs > Java > Installed JREs, and click Add. And instead of specifying a JRE you specify a JDK, Eclipse will automatically discover the source installed along side the JDK and pre-attach it for you to your libraries so you get javadoc right away.
