If you want to search the beta API documentation using HotJava, here's what
you need to do:
1) Download the beta api html files from the JDK page
(http://java.sun.com/JDK-prebeta1/ftp_docs.html)
2) Unpack these documents -- the tar file will put them in a directory
named api
3) Rename that api directory to something like betaDocs and move the
betaDocs to $JAVAHOME/doc where JAVAHOME is the installation directory
of the *alpha* version of java/hotjava
4) In $JAVAHOME/doc there's a file called ListOfBooks; edit that file
and include the following two lines
JAVA Beta API
betaDocs
5) In $JAVAHOME/doc run the following command
$JAVAHOME/bin/java -classpath
$JAVAHOME/classes/browser/tools/JavaSearch:$JAVAHOME/classes
browser.tools.JavaSearch.javaindex -stoplist
$JAVAHOME/doc/real-short-stoplist.txt -db betaDocs/ betaDocs/*
Note that JAVAHOME still refers to the *alpha* distribution of java
Then you can start the alpha HotJava and in the Search window, select the
JAVA Beta API as the Books to search and you'll be set.

Step #5 above didn't work for me. Are there any typos?
Thanks,
