Is there JavaDoc available for DB2 drivers?

Is there anywhere I can point my IDE to and associate my DB2 driver (db2jcc.jar) to get the JavaDoc support? I looked through what is installed locally on my computer, and there doesn't seem to be anything. Is it available online at all?

"Do you really need special docs for that driver ? You're supposed to use the standard JDBC interface to access databases in Java anyway. See the standard docs for the java.sql.* package. – nos Jul 23 '09 at 19:19"

Actually, the whole point of JDBC is to allow each Db vendor (DB2, Oracle, PostgreSql, etc) to create drivers which implement their own specific features while allowing the database developer to retrieve data in a standard way. As a result, each and every JDBC driver has it's own unique set of properties, and good documentation is the only way to know what these properties are. For instance, in DB2 there is a property called "currentFunctionPath" to define where unqualified functions are located. It is a property which can be very useful, but is likely NOT used at all in Oracle or other vendor's JDBC drivers.

There isn't any javadoc for the DB2 drivers. As nos implied, you might use a other JDBC driver, and configure your IDE to use this alternate Javadoc.

The doc for the DB2 JDBC is directly at IBM website, but it's not in form of a javadoc.
