Seems to only be happening to me, but... With both continuous builds and the beta 2 build, if I do a fresh install with fresh user dir and create web app with tomcat as the server, I can hit Alt-F1 or Shift-F1 on any of the J2EE classes and get Javadoc. Once I've registered the application server, javadoc no longer works. I've got appserver 8.1_02. I deleted and recreated my default domain on this instance, if that means anything. Otherwise can't think of anything that would cause this.
reassigning to j2eeserver for evaluation
Marking as RANDOM. Did you switch the project target server? Was the target server Tomcat or AppServer? (Javadoc for the J2EE API is taken from the server) I was able to reproduce it with the old user dir. When Tomcat was the target server javadoc didn't work, after switching to AppServer or JBoss it worked. After cleaning the user dir, I was no more able to reproduce this issue :( Are you able to reprodce the issue all the time?
didn't switch the project's target server, just registered the application server and it stopped working. has happened every time I've tested it (three times).
what system are you running on?
John, can you please attach your message log?

Radko, can you please look at this one? Thanks.
John agreed that he had been probably dreaming and this issue is no more reproducible. Closing. Feel free to reopen if any kind of black magic attacks your IDE again :-)
