Are IClassFile supposed to contain Javadoc comments? [message #153543]

Hi,

I think not, since an IClassFile is for .class files.

I'm wondering why when I parse the IClassFile for java.lang.Object.class
into a CompilationUnit I can extract the Javadoc comment of the

equals method.

The IClassFile is fetched with the IJavaProject.findType() method

Any idea? I have associated the Java source code though so maybe that's
the reason

That's the reason. I just tested it.
I guess the public void setSource(IClassFile source) does a pretty good
job at finding the actual source IF attached.

Should be documented

Great!
