[...] Until today, I somehow never realized TextMate had this feature, and I was happy to see it works for Java, too. At least, it's supposed to. I can't get it to work. It seems that the command requires an index.html file in the Java API docs directory, but on my Tiger installation of Tiger (that is, Mac OS X 10.4 and Java 1.5/5.0), there doesn't seem to be any index.html in that directory. There's an index-files subdirectory, but no root index.html file. Is there something wrong with my installation of Java?
Initially when Brad Miller added this command, I had to install some optional Java package to get the actual documentation files.
Since then, these have however disappeared from my system (not really sure when it happened).
So bottom line: your install is not broken, it might be incomplete (as to that optional Java package), but I am not really sure.
The Java ctrl-H version was however not as elegant as for the other languages, as it doesn’t lookup the current word/unit, but only opens the root documentation file.
