In order to view Javadoc documentation for any elements of code you are writing, you must add the Javadoc library containing the documentation to the project. See Adding a Javadoc Library to a Project for more information.
Once you have added a Javadoc library to the project, you can view the documentation for any of the library's classes right from the Source Editor, browse the documentation in your external browser, and search the library using the Javadoc Index Search.
To search a project's Javadoc libraries:
The Javadoc Index Search opens in a Source Editor tab.
![]() |
If an element of code is selected in the Filesystems window
or Source Editor when you open the Javadoc Index Search, the IDE automatically
searches for the code element.
To open a code element's Javadoc page in the external web browser without viewing the search page, place your insertion point on the code element in the Source Editor and press Alt-F1. |
