NetBeans needs Javadoc, Eclipse doesn't?
I just installed NetBeans and want to give it a try. Some popup javadoc stuff works, but nothing verbose. It says: "Javadok not found ...".
However, I am using Eclipse (my current IDE) and it has no problem with verbose context hints.
I have a 100 + mb zip file download to get the javadoc, or can I point Netbeans to what Eclipse already knows?

My guess is that the documentation in Eclipse didn't come out of nowhere - you can have the javadoc for the underlying jdk or it is actually packaged with Eclipse. Anyway, this is how you add the JDK javadoc to NetBeans. When I think about it, I think it's just that Eclipse generates documentation from JDK sources if available, and NetBeans probably doesn't.
