    <p>What tools/websites do you use to read JavaDocs? </p> <p>I currently use Firefox with 20+ tabs open when working on a J2EE project to have all the documentation available which is not very usable, is eating too much memory and is not searchable.</p> <p>What I would expect from such a tool/website:</p> <ul> <li>Aggregate JavaDocs from different locations</li> <li>Direct access to types like Ctrl+T in Eclipse or similar</li> <li>Fulltext search</li> <li>Cross referencing between all the Java libraries I've chosen</li> <li>For a tool: offline support</li> <li>Speed</li> </ul> <p>not mandatory: </p> <ul> <li>possibility to annotate things</li> <li>support for different versions of a library (+ diffing ?)</li> <li>IDE integration</li> </ul> <p>Edit:</p> <p>Thanks for your answers.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
