XCode Java API search?

How can I enable searching the standard Java API classes in XCode documentation window? When I type text in the search field, it only searches from com.apple.*, so it doesn't find for example java.awt.Image.

I'm using XCode 1.5 and I have installed the latest Java updates (including development package). Searching used to work in 1.1 at least sometimes.

Not a giant help, but have you opened up ../Resources/Documentation/Reference/doc/api/index.html in the Java folder? Nice view of all the classes.

Edit: you can get to this within Xcode, but it's easier, I think, to open it directly.

Have you already done the required Terminal command:
Code: 
sudo /Developer/ADC\ Reference\ Library/documentation/Java/scripts/unjarJavaDocumentation.sh

to unpack all the files?

Yes, I have unpacked the documentation and I can browse the API HTML files from XCode (and otherwise). But being able to search would be useful when you don't know exactly what class or function you need.

Oh, I completely agree. I tend to use Eclipse or JBuilder personal Edition for Java coding and hadn't looked all that much into using Xcode for it, but 1.5 tempts me. If I find out anything, I'll post back.
