Quickly Browse the JavaDoc

Javadoc (Java Documentation) is the primary source of reference for most of the Java Developers and Architects. With continuously increasing content of the Java Documentation, it is getting tougher to locate a particular class in the javadoc unless you know the exact Package name.

Here is one of the quickest ways of locating a particular Package/Interface/Class from the Javadoc....

1) If you dont have Chrome Browser, download it from here and install it in your System.
2) Now open the Chrome Browser and go to this Javadoc Extensions page here and click on the 'Install' button. This will install the plugin into your Chrome Browser.
3) Now open any Javadoc in your Chrome Browser and you will see a Search Box at the top left corner. Just start typing the Package/Interface/Class name there and you will be amazed how quickly you can locate them!!!!

Tip:  You can use wildcard character '*" to filter.  For eg.,  searching  '*queue*' will list all the entries that has 'queue' in its name.

Give it a try.
