You can't usually just add the javadoc zip as a separate library (at least this hasn't worked for me in the past.) In the libraries section you need to select the library you want to add the Javadoc for and then add the Javadoc jar for that specific library.

Restart Netbeans then that should work. Though of course if there really is no Javadoc for that method you still won't get any (I've fallen into that trap a couple of times before!)
