Java: How do I catalog Java API documents using Quicksilver?

Question

This one is for Java programmers on Mac.

How do I catalog Java API documents using Quicksilver? Wouldn't it be nice if you could lookup API documents with a few key strokes?

Answer 1

Download Java API document locally.

Then follow the instructions in Indexing Java SDK Docs with QuickSilver.

[Add] the “allclasses-frame.html” file into a new [“J2SE”] group in the catalog and set the “Include Contents” option to “HTML Links”. QuickSilver will parse the HTML file and since the file contains a long list of links to all the class pages, the result in the index is exactly what I want. As you can see in the screenshot, it picks up about 3200 classes.
