    How can I link WO's JavaDoc to Eclipse?

    When Eclipse pops up code-assist for standard Java objects, I also get
    a tooltip with the JavaDoc for the selected item. This tooltip does
    not appear for WO objects. Has anybody been able to get this to work
    for WO objects? I'm using Eclipse 3.0.0 and WOLips 1.1.0.82 beta 3 on
    Mac OS 10.3.5.

    I've managed to link WO's JavaDoc to Eclipse's "External" JavaDoc.
    When I select a WO object in the editor and press "Shift + F2", the
    appropriate WebObjects documentation is opened in an external browser.
    I've done this by associating the WO reference API folder with the
    appropriate .jar's in my Project's WO Frameworks Library. (Expand the
    WO Framworks Library in your project, right click on
    javafoundation.jar, select Properties, select JavaDoc Location, select
    JavaDoc URL, enter a path such as
    file:/Developer/Documentation/WebObjects/5.2.3/API/)

    While this works fine, what I'm really after is getting the JavaDoc to
    display inside Eclipse as a tool-tip. Any thoughts?
