Description mgoe 2007-07-12 17:21:42 UTC 
Using "Show javadoc" from the context menu in an editor does not work reliably.
Steps to reproduce:
- Open the source file attached to this report in an editor.
- Place the cursor in the word "String" in line 11.
- Select "Show Javadoc" from the context menu.
-> Beep, no browser with javadoc is shown
- Place the cursor in the word "HashSet" in line 15
- Select "Show Javadoc" from the context menu.
-> Browser with javadoc is shown

PS: The "docs/api" path to the javadoc for the used jdk has been added via the Tools>Java Platform Manager dialog.
