Quick documentation at Intellij IDEA painfully slow

Question

I am using IDEA 13.x, and the quick documentation is painfully slow. I think the reason is that this documentation is downloaded over the Internet.

Eclipse extracts this documentation directly from JDKs src.zip (or other source files). There is no delay in choosing.

Is there any way I can configure IDEA to get the documentation displayed in the popup from local src files?

Answer 1

I met the same problem you were talking about. I guess because IDEA is trying to get the doc online with the URL specified in Project Structure> SDK> Documentation Paths , so I deleted the URL (backup it first) and now it is much faster.
