Eclipse can either link to Javadocs on the internet or to downloaded local copies. For either,
you go into the Java Build Path properties for that library (starting with rt.jar!) and set the Javadoc
location. For a Java 5 rt.jar, you can set the Javadoc location to http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/
..
You can also download the documentation from sun.java,com and unzip it into a location on your
computer. I do that for the APIs I use most, because I sometimes work on code when I don't
have Internet connectivity.
