When I try to activate javadoc window for code completion in options, nothing happens. I still can open javadoc window by pressing Ctrl-Shift-Space.
My first question would be why the documentation window is hidden by default. From discussions on various forums, I gathered that people really like this feature in NetBeans, and it is very useful to see Javadoc and other documentation (JSP tag syntax, HTML tag syntax etc.) right from the editor. Why is it hidden by default? Thanks.
Not hidden by default for me. Make a new j2seproject w/ main class in a new userdir, type "new String()." in the main method, and wait, and I get a popup completion window w/ Javadoc working fine.
Jesse, which build do you have? It shouldn't appear on 200506142000 - since new code completion has been merged to trunk.

Verified in custom build from Q-build branch. Works properly now. Thanks! To pjiricka: this fix makes javadoc on by default again. So when showing demos on JavaOne the default configuration should mean javadoc enabled.
