Is there a way to display javaSE manual or reference in eclipse IDE? For example to look up “List Object” documentation. In some IDE it is possible to select a word and press F1. I think it is called Javadoc.

If you have attached the source code of the JDK, pressing F2 in the editor will open a tooltip with the javadoc of the method or class under the cursor, while pressing F3 will take you to the source code of that element.
Source code is automatically attached if you add a JDK to the build path (a JRE may not contain the source code). If I recall correctly, pressing F3 if you don’t have the source code will prompt you for the location of source code (for a JDK, that’s in src.zip).
