Javadocs in Netbeans

Technical Java
1

So in a couple of days I’ve got to go and teach students on the newly created rookie team in Santiago how to program the cRIO in Java (just so they get some experience, even if the 2015 season will offer a new control system). I was preparing a powerpoint presentation to teach them how to get everything up and running on their PC’s, but I can’t remember how to set up the Javadocs in NetBeans so they won’t have to open up a separate browser page and search for a class every time they’re programming. WPI has a tutorial on their site, but I remember that when I tried it at the beginning of the year, I couldn’t follow the instructions or got some random errors (at least in Windows).

Thanks in advance!
