Yeap, made it...

Well, it's strange, because my variable for that points to
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api (and not to a local dir... so, I'm
guessing it would be unusable with F2 for me if it used that for something)=

Actually, what you're saying seems more work to me then just grabbing it
from the source-code (it's really easy to manipulate the AST from jdt)...
Anyway, have you tried the newsgroup?
