If you have linked the Javadoc location (via preferences) then you can
just hit F2. If you want it to be F1, you could try changing the
keybindings, I haven't done that, so I'm not sure if it would work
(since I just use F2 anyhow )

I just cannot find the place under preferences where to add the
javadoc directory? I found the javadoc command entry but this is
clearly not the spot where to add the javadoc directory, or is it.

Furthermore, is there a location where to add other javadocs (from
custom projects?)

Best regards

Window\Preferences\Java\Installed JREs
Select the JRE
Press Edit
Javadoc URL:

Properties on your project
Javadoc Location

Set the Javadoc location in the properties of the JAR file

In Eclipse 4.5 Galileo, the place you're looking for is probably under the project's Properties -> Javadoc location, but that's for the generated Javadoc.

This is wrong, actually. For 3rd party projects, you need to go to Package Explorer -> References Libraries and access the Properties of the JAR you imported. There, you have a Javadoc Location.

I've just tested this with Apache HttpComponents Client.
