How to open attached javadoc in external browser

Tags:

eclipse

I have two installations of Eclipse, 3.5 and 3.6. In 3.6 when I open attached javadoc it uses the internal web browser, in 3.5 it uses the external Firefox (which I prefer).

I can't find the preference to control this behaviour. Please can anyone help me out here with this little question?

The preference you're looking for is in the "General" section; it's called "Web Browser".

A good way to find prefs is to type a relevant word into the search box above the preference tree - see the screenshot.alt text
