Mozilla, and a copy of the Javadoc for all the APIs I'm using in the project I'm working on. I usually find that well written Javadoc and maybe some sample code is all I need to get up to speed with a particular component or library. If you have you Javadoc organised into a useful directory structure, then add a bookmark on Moz's Personal Toolbar pointing to the root of that directory structure, Moz will display the bookmark as a folder, and allow you to navigate through all subdirectories thereof. This makes it extremely easy to get to all of your documentation and because it handles this automatically, you don't need to continually update your bookmarks to point to any new additions. BTW, whilst I did't point it out in the other "Which IDE?" thread, but I use Emacs+JDE and Ant for all my Java development, and Moz for documentation as outlined above.
