About java help under linux

[kevin]

Hi guys:

I wonder if there is some help documents available under linux for
java, like chm help document for windows, I installed gnome chm
viewer, but it is not so functional compare with that under windows,
so, could you give some suggestions about how I can get the JAVA API
query function with linux.


thnx

I'm not familiar with the tools you cite. I just keep a browser window
open to the javadocs. Easy to navigate, hypertext links, etc. What else
do you need?

If your connection is fast (and reliable) enough, you can browse the
Java API doumentation straight from Suns web site;
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/
(just substitute the 1.4.2 with the version number of your JDK).
For direct access to documentation of some given class, use URLs like
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/System.html

For local copy of the API docs, there are download links at
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/

Additionally, Java IDEs may include an internal documentation browser
(f.ex. Netbeans does).

The only thing I use is the API documentation and the Tutorial. Since
konqueror can read html inside zip files, there's no need to unzip
the two files into directory trees at all.
