Answer 1

You need javadoc for the Java EE specifications as JBoss is an implementation of it.

So get the javadocs for Java EE specification that your JBoss is implementing.

You can download the javadoc for Java EE 6 from here :

Java EE 6 Update 2 Javadocs

Answer 2

You should actually be looking into getting the generic JavaEE API documentation into your Eclipse, and not the one specific to JBoss. After all (in a perfect world) your code should only depend on generic JavaEE features, not the JBoss implementation.

As for how to get JavaEE Javadoc, these two questions should explain it all:

• Enabling full documentation for Java EE in eclipse
• Integrating Javadoc for Java EE 6 API into Eclipse
