I had the same problem, and I solved it by removing all URLs and adding only the apidocs.zip downloaded from oracle. After that restart your NetBeans.

Before test whether it works be sure the method you are looking for actually exists within the apidocs. Open index.html and make a search for that particular package.class.method you need.

If it doesn't work, try to manually copy the apidoc.zip to the docs directory of netBeans: C:\Program Files\NetBeans 7.1.2\java\docs and then retry.
