It has been bugging me for a while that the Xcode documentation engine is kind of weak.

The problems you are seeing here should be addressed with upcoming improvements.



And, while I'm thinking of it, how do I update it? Do the Xcode installers do that, or do I need to do something different?

We update the documentation on an approximately monthly basis, and you should get an alert within Xcode notifying you of the update and providing you with a button to start the process. If you have never gotten this alert, you may want to check your Documentation preferences to see if this has been turned off.

Comrades,

It has been bugging me for a while that the Xcode documentation engine is kind of weak.

One of the main things that bugs me is that some things can be searched for easily, like "log", which gets a bunch of hits (I'm looking for the Java Math.log reference), but if I search for "Math", I don't get any references to Java at all.

Also, I can't search for "MouseListener" or "EventListener" (or a bunch of other imterfaces), even though the documentation is in there. In the case of EventListener I get "EventListenerList", which has references to EventListener in its entry, so I can get there that way.

(By search or find, I mean using the "Find selected text in API Reference" command.)

Its as though the index to the API reference is incomplete or damaged. Can it be rebuilt or repaired? How? And, while I'm thinking of it, how do I update it? Do the Xcode installers do that, or do I need to do something different?

Fondly,
Paul
