Java documentation that is searchable like iPhone Obj-C Documentation?

Question

Is there a Java SE 6 documentation that is searchable like Apple's built-in Xcode documentation?

I suppose Google could be used to search the website that the Java 6 documentation is hosted on but I'd prefer a nice app or website where I can just search for the things I want.

Or I could even just CTRL-F to find it on the page...

Answer 1

http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/ In particular look at the javadocs and click on the "Index" near the top.

Answer 2

If you are on windows, these javadocs compiled into CHM format are great.

Switch to 'index' tab, and start typing text in textfield ... you'll immediatelly see the list of matching classes/methods.

Answer 3

I wont recommend a search for Sun JavaDocs only. Searching in Google for some functionality returns results from everywhere. Including Apache Commons and lots of other useful open source libraries.

Finding a functionality in an open source library is better than reinventing the wheel

Answer 4

There you go -- search able java api:

javadocs.org
