eclipse : java language javadoc

I'm still hoping to find a way from within eclipse to bring up javadoc help
for the actual java language (e.g hilite keyword such as "synchronized" and
hitting sh-f2). Does such a document exist?

Has anyone succeeded in doing this?

Javadoc documents classes, methods, variables, etc, and not language keywords,
so strictly, the answer is "no, it doesn't exist." Now, this doesn't mean that
there isn't a plug-in for Eclipse that produces help text for Java keywords,
but in any case if there is, it doesn't have anything to do with javadoc.

Why not try netbeans, which can use javadoc. I dont' understand why
eclipse doesn't support it....
