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.
