View => "External Documentation" is grayed out ? (93.54)

It only started to work when JavaDocs were download locally

Hello Evgeny,

Did you specify JavaDoc url? Works for me here.

Thank you

I'm using build 93.54 and Java7, it's Documentation Path is set to
"http://download.java.net/jdk7/docs/api/"

While standing on a class I click Shift+F1 (View => External
Documentation) but nothing happens since it's grayed out (disabled) in
a menu.

Is there a problem with external Javadoc URL?
"http://download.java.net/jdk7/docs/api//" doesn't work either.

Thank you!

I also have never been able to get Idea 9 to display javadoc from a local zip archive whether pointing to the archive or having it expanded.
This is under Win7

Pointing to the javadoc using an external URL seems to work OK.

Idea 8 had no problems with a local zip archive for javadoc.

I find it useful having it work with a local copy of the javadoc since its not always possible for me to be online while working.

Yes, I specified the URL and I see it now also works for all of them:


http://java.sun.com/javase/7/docs/api/
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/
http://download.java.net/jdk7/docs/api/




I honestly don't know what was different the previous time .. But thank you, Anna!
May be your involvement was enough
