External Javadoc

For JDK and global library javadocs, look in Settings -> JDK & Global
Libraries and make sure the path to the javadocs is correct. Specifically,
if you point to a jar or zip, make sure that there's no extra directories
above the actual javadocs.

Hi,

I have a somewhat stupid problem and according to Google and the KB I'm
the only one...

I'd like to use "External Javadoc" (aka Shift-F1) but when I press it on
classes/methods that are not from my project, I get a "The documentation
for this element is not found.\nPlease add all the needed paths to API
docs in Project Settings.".

Well, there is no "API docs" in "Project Setting" so I guess I have to go
for "Javadoc". However I can add anything, I can't get rid of the error. I
just want easy access to the JDK/Spring-Javadocs. What point am I missing?

TIA,

Thanks a bunch Brad, I was apparently totally mislead by the error
message! It works like a charm now.
