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?

To find classes/interfaces, you need to give it the fully-qualified

name of the class/interface, for example, "java.util.EventListener".
