[android-developers] Why doesn't the ADT show me the javadoc for a class in android.jar when I have the javadoc path set for the jar?

This may be completely Eclipse-specific, but perhaps not.

I find it's very inconsistent whether I can get Eclipse to show me the Javadoc for an Android class or method, even when I appear to have valid javadoc attached to the "android.jar" file.

For instance, right now I'm viewing a class in a sample application that references SQLiteDatabase. There are no compile errors, so I have all of my dependencies properly set.  I hover on the class name reference and force the javadoc to display, it prints the class name as "android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase", but it says "Note: This element has no attached source and the Javadoc could not be found in the attached Javadoc.".

I then went into the Project Explorer and expanded the "Android 2.3.3" library, exposing the "android.jar" file. I right-clicked on that and selected Properties. I clicked on "Javadoc Location". It's currently set to "Javadoc URL" and the "Javadoc location path" was set to the path to the "reference" directory in the android SDK. I clicked "Validate" and it said "Location is likely valid".

Just in case, I verified that "android/database/sqlite/SQLiteDatabase.html" exists at the root of the javadoc tree.

So why is it not showing the javadoc for this class?
