Go to project properties -> libraries -> select hibernate JAR -> click Edit -> browse to Javadocs and Source .

Answer 3

For my case I'm using Netbeans 7.4 with hibernate 3.6.10 . I was dealing with the same issue. Whene I do a Ctrl + Space in order to get the documentation about Hibernate function, It's give me the following :

Javadoc not found. Either Javadoc documentation for this item does not exist or there is no attached Javadoc to the JAR file containing this item:E:\Programs\NetBeans 7.4\java\modules\ext\hibernate\hibernate-core-3.6.10.Final.jar

To solve it, I've downloaded the source hibernate-core-3.6.10.Final-sources.jar.zip from : http://www.java2s.com/Code/JarDownload/hibernate-core/hibernate-core-3.6.10.Final-sources.jar.zip and added it to my project libraries.

Finally I've got the documentation with Ctrl + Space shoortcut :).

When you download your Hibernate version it comes in a war bundle. Extract that .war file and you will see the folder of Hibernate. In it there is a folder named documentation. Click on it and you will see the javadoc folder.
