I posted this message in the newcomers group before, but got no answer. As
this might be a little too deep for newcomers, I thought I'd post it here
instead. Hope this is the correct group to answer this.
I have problems getting javadoc (shift-F2) to work for some plugins. For
some plugins it works (e.g. org.eclipse.ui.editors), and for some others
it doesn't (e.g. for org.eclipse.draw2d).
I have discovered the difference in:
Project->properties->Java Build Path->Libraries
The ones that do not work do not have a JavaDoc location. However, Eclipse
does not allow me to set the JavaDoc location for those plugins that don't
work (non-modifiable). Another way to set the Javadoc location would be to
edit the properties of the plug-in in the Package Explorer view. But the
pop.up there says:
"The current class path entry belongs to the container 'Plug-in
Dependencies' which does not allow user modifications to Javadoc locations
on its entries"
If have searched the documentation and newsgroups for a solution but could
not find one.
How do I set the javadoc location for plug-ins ?
Thanks!
Rene

Thanks very much for the help, Dani. importing the plug-ins and setting
the javadoc path directly did the trick. It turned out the troublesome
plugins (gef and draw2d) did not have Javadoc included, but instead
delivered a separate "doc" plugin. So it may not have been a bug but a
"feature". Anyway, I will try to issue a bug report
Thanks, Rene
