Description GingerS224 2004-10-14 17:16:46 UTC 
I am new to this program and to java but would
like to learn more that is why I am trying your
program out.  Looked easy to use BUT...
On your Start up area on your web site I tried to
follow directions for doing my 1st applet/class
file "ie.  Helloworld " when i got to the point of
typing "java" into the field area 1. I didn't get
the pop up initially had to use ctrl space bar to
get it...when i did get it I got the notice "can't
find javadoc" on both java and javax.  HELP where
is the java doc and why can't it find it if all
the "defaults" are loaded?
Comment 1 Jan Pokorsky 2004-10-14 19:46:04 UTC 
java and javax are packages and JDK does not provide any javadoc for
them. If you choose some class under these packages eg
javax.swing.JButton you will get its javadoc.

In order to get the code completion initially you have to type '.' (eg
javax.). It is an inaccuracy of that guide and it should be fixed.

BTW, I would recommend you to subscribe to nbusers@netbeans.org
(http://www.netbeans.org/community/lists/top.html) where you can get
help from experienced users in more efective way than via the Issuezilla.

John, what's the status of this? If it hasn't been addressed for 4.0,
please change the target milestone to "future" or "promo E"
Comment 3 John Jullion-ceccarelli 2004-10-27 12:12:52 UTC 
I will correct the guide in time for 4.0 release.
