Javadoc for packages missing

I've got JavaDoc working for the JRE System Library in eclipse but java packages in the repositories seem to be bytecode, hence have no JavaDoc with them.

Does anyone know if there is anyway of displaying the documentation without downloading all the source packages from the websites and using them instead?

Re: Javadoc for packages missing

the license doesn't permit distributing.
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/legal/license.html

on other distribution like ubuntu, i think you need to download from sun and place to a directory when you want to install using apt sun-java5-doc or sun-java6-doc

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: Javadoc for packages missing

But, is there any way to have javadocs working? That is, to download it from the Sun website and Arch recognises the documentation so that I can use it in Netbeans.

Thanks a lot.
