javadoc popup for external libraries [message #149938] Fri, 19 March 2004 17:05 Go to next message

Hello,

I have no problems getting javadoc popups for the classes included in the
source folders of my project.

But for the classes from external libraries, such as JRE, I get popups
without any javadoc, just the method name and return type. I specified the
"Javadoc location", and it is local on my Hard disk. But it doesn't help.
I don't get more information even when I press F2.

For code completion I get no javadoc popups at all for external classes.

Any ideas what else can be configured?

I use Eclipse 2.1.1 under Win2000.

TIA

Oleg

Hi, perhaps I'm wrong but I believe that you need to attach a source file
to the class.
Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion, Jose, it works, but I think it should also be
sufficient just to attach the javadoc. It's inexplicable for me why not.

It's also possible to attach Javadoc which you can then browse using
"Open External Javadoc" (Shift+F2) or by pressing F1 and then select
"Javadoc <selected element>"

I have librarys that are binary releases and only have the jar files and
the java doc.

Is it possible to configure the code assist popups to use the javadoc to
determine their content?

No. See feature request https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=41421
