Its quite easy if you are using Linux.
If you are using Open JDK then command is

Code:: sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-doc

If Sun JDK then

Code:: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-doc

You should mention the OS in case of this type of problems.

You should visit oracles' site first for any kind of problem related to java.
I found solution of you problem here.

actually I'm in similar problem. And both of us are using Windows rather than Linux. So if you can, please describe the way to do it in windows using eclipse IDE.
And one question,
Do I have to download the javadoc file or it's preloaded in eclipse IDE ?

Possibly no, I am not sure though.

Didn't the oracle link I provided help?

You need to install jdk for windows first.
Inside it, there is a folder called src.zip.
That's what you are looking for. Just show it to eclipse.

It said to unzip the jdk-6-doc in C:\.
Is that all I need to do to see java API documentation while coding in eclipse ? Shocked

It said to unzip the jdk-6-doc in C:\.

It does not say so. Read section one carefully. It recommends to extract at jdk directory. javadoc is nothing more than some formatted html files. So all you need to do is copy it to the correct location.

Is that all I need to do to see java API documentation while coding in eclipse ?

Neither of you told that "I want to see API docs while coding in eclipse". What I helped about is how to install (or extract!) Java doc. It has nothing to do with Eclipse.

You two seriously need to be more descriptive.
We are not magicians and we can not go inside your mind to get idea about your problem. So, the more descriptive you become, the more you are helping yourself.

anyway, go to preferences > java > installed jre

select edit.

then, there will be a list. find the jar file named rt.jar. select it, and then from the right menu, click source attachment. Show the src.zip file.

After you show the src file, it should start showing the javadoc.

You have to open eclipse, then window>preferences > java > installed jre, when you select installed jre then you'll see that edit option is unaccesable.To make the edit button accesable,in the installed jre pnel you will see jre6.Select it then edit button wiil be accesable.

Then follow the steps told by Amit vai.

Select edit.

Then, there will be a list. find the jar file named rt.jar. select it, and then from the right menu, click source attachment.Then by the button Exturnal file show the src.zip file which is located in the path which is C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_23.

After you show the src file, it should start showing the javadoc.
