Shift+F1 on method - opens a Class javadoc, not method's

It appears Windows "start" command (which we use for substitue of 'system
default browser') doesn't like # anchors.
For instance, if you run
start file://C:/JDK/jdk1.5.0_02/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#charAt(int)
from the command line you'll go to String.html's root.

Strange enough but problem can be worked around by specifying brower's .exe
location in Settings|General.

Build 3408:

Having a cursor on method's name (say, directory.isDirectory()) and
pressing Shift+F1 I'm expecting to see the javadoc of the method
specified ("docs/api/java/io/File.html#isDirectory()"). Instead, the
class javadoc is opened ("docs/api/java/io/File.html")

But it works if you give an http URL with anchor. Bizarre.

Max, since you already have Windows-specific DLLs, you may want to
consider making a simple native method on a utility class which uses the
appropriate Shell API call to open the URL.

I've just actually worked that around by generating simple html with redirection
to original url and opening that html instead of original. Works like a charm.

Watch out you're turning into a web developer :D

Hmm, that's correct - 4.5 version was suffering from the same problem and this workaround fixed it quickly. It was just the first time in my life I din't specify the browser and let the "default" one to take action .. So far for the defaults :) Thank's anyway !
