How do I convince Eclipse to show javadoc documentation under Ubuntu 9.04 for openjdk?

javadoc

I'm having a pretty hard time with this!

I have installed the java documentation at:

file:///usr/share/doc/openjdk-6-jre/api/index.html

And loading that file up does show me all the documentation.

However, I would like to browse it directly from within eclipse and see the documentation when I hover over a class. For example, when I hover over "javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest", I would like to see the documentation for it. All I get is:

Note: This element has no attached source and the Javadoc could not be found in the attached Javadoc.

Can anyone help correct my dev environment?
