Product Version = NetBeans IDE 7.0 (Build 201104080000) Operating System = Windows XP version 5.1 running on x86 Java; VM; Vendor = 1.7.0-ea Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 21.0-b09 Java version: 1.7.0-ea; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 21.0-b09 Javadoc version: jdk-7-ea-bin-b139-apidocs-21_apr_2011.zip Browser: Firefox 3.6.16 Steps to reproduce: 1. Install IDE, Java, and Javadocs in custom locations using instructions here: http://netbeans.org/kb/docs/java/javase-jdk7.html (don't unjar the docs) The install directories are as follows: IDE: D:\Netbeans\Netbeans 7.0\ Java: D:\Java\jdk1.7.0\ Javadoc zip: D:\Java\docs\jdk-7-ea-bin-b139-apidocs-21_apr_2011.zip 2. Choose Tools | Java Platform in IDE, select the JDK, and specify the custom location of the Javadoc zip file in the Javadoc tab. 3. Close Tools. 4. Select Menu | Javadoc Index Search and specify a valid class - like "File." The response is "No Documentation Found." Other Javadoc will display - all versions of Java 1.6 docs, junit docs, org.hamcrest, and others. Java 1.7 docs will display in the browser using Help | Javadoc References.
Easy steps to reproduce this bug: just add url to jdk7 javadoc: http://download.java.net/jdk7/docs/api/ although it works with jdk6: http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/
