Access Java Documentation from Eclipse IDE

I installed Java SE 14 and Eclipse IDE. Now I want to access the Java official documentation from the Eclipse IDE itself. How do I achieve this?

Note : I looked this question. I found out that adding src.zip to the jre library in eclipse will work. But I didn't find src.zip in my jdk-14.0.1 folder. May be the recent versions didn't include src.zip.

Other details :

I am not sure why I cannot find src.zip in the jdk installation directory. So I reinstalled it. When I reinstalled the jdk 14 I found the src.zip in that directory. Here is the path of that folder : C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-14.0.1\lib\src.

And it is not even required for me to attach this source to the eclipse. Eclipse automatically detected the source and attached it.

Open your eclipse IDE and go to

windows option -> show view -> javadoc

after choosing that you can view a Javadoc tab in the below panel. Like this enter image description here Initially, it will be blank. when you choose a library function you can view the official Javadoc details in this panel. You need not download or configure any source file for this.
