Displaying Javadoc or choose Source > Show Documentation from the menu bar. The Javadoc for this element is displayed in a popup window. From the menu bar, select Window > IDE Tools > Javadoc Documentation to open the Javadoc window, in which the documentation is refreshed automatically for the location of your cursor.
To locate the Javadoc, browse to your User folder (on Windows 7 this is C:\Users\*Username*), then browse to sunspotfrcsdk/doc/javadoc. Double click on the index. html file to open it in your default webbrowser.
It is easy to enable Java hints in NetBeans. Select "Tools" from the title bar, then select "Options" from the drop-down menu. Choose the "Editor" option and then select the "Hints" tab.
Choose Tools > Java Platform Manager from the main window. Select the platform to which you want to add Javadoc in the left panel of the dialog box. In the Javadoc tab, click Add ZIP/Folder and specify the location of the Javadoc files. Click Close.
You can view the javadoc in Netbeans by clicking on the method and press Ctrl + Shift + Space
(Command + Shift + Space on Mac) You can also see the various shortkeys in the help menu>keyboard shortcuts card.
UPDATE:
You can instead open a "javadoc" window from the menu Window>IDE Tools>Javadoc Documentation. This will show the javadoc in a window near the output window for that method when you click on the method or object
I know that in netbeans 8.0 you can hold down the ctrl button and hover over the class or method, etc. and the javadoc window would appear.
Javadoc won't show up with just a mouse hover, but you can click on a word (method/class/field/variable/whatever name) and press ctrl+space. Javadoc should show up.
You can even open Javadoc window and you can see the javadoc in that. I prefer this way
Window >> Other >> javadoc.
Now you can see both your code and respective javadoc.
Window >> IDE Tools >> Javadoc Documentation
