Description chuckbing 2011-04-27 03:14:07 UTC 
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/
