Offline-searchable javadoc
807598Feb 6 2006 — edited Feb 11 2006Is there an offline-searchable copy of the java docs? Knowing just where to find the documentation on JList is non-trivial for those, like me, who are new to Java.
Having to go back to the online site to conduct a search instead of intuitively knowing where to navigate through what seems like a random spattering of categories and links is very annoying.
I don't like .NET but I'll give Microsoft one thing: their MSDN Library is first rate, and if Sun offered something similar, it would make life less painful when developing Java apps.
Thanks :)
PS, I've installed netBeans 5.0 and the help that comes with it seems to deal with the IDE itself, and not with the Java language. Also, the help that comes with code-completion is only useful if you know the Java API like the back of your hand to begin with, which I don't.
