Javadocs as OSGi Bundle? [message #505387] Wed, 30 December 2009 00:02 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
Hi,

I have an external library that is available as OSGi bundle. I do not
have any sources, but I have the Javadoc, that I want to make available
within the Plugin-Dependencies Container. How do the PDE Tools resolve
the Javadoc?

Is it possible to package the Javadocs as an OSGi bundle like it is
possible with sources? If so, which Bundle headers do exist?

Greetings from Germany,
Ralf

I just tried to do this, but I'm sorry, I could not get it working. Maybe this
helps you with finding a solution:

Theoretically, JavaDocs in a folder named doc/ in the plug-in jar are meant to
contain JavaDocs, but putting them there doesn't enable the JavaDocs for me.
They are handled and found by the PDE JavadocLocationManager
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/pde/ui/org.eclipse. pde.core/src/org/eclipse/pde/internal/core/JavadocLocationMa nager.java?view=markup

but then not used.

Also, there is an extension point "org.eclipse.pde.core.javadoc" which allows to
associate plug-ins with javadoc locations.

Greetings,

Ralf
